ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS

January 19, 2020

As many of you know, I have a special place in my heart for Guatemala as that is where we adopted Zach. This week, the Global Ministries of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) has invited us to pray for Guatemala. Some of the mission partners there wrote the following…

Supplication by Brayan Alvarado, General Coordinator of the Ecumenical Christian Council of Guatemala:

Lord, today as yesterday, the economy and governments betray the people, putting themselves at the service of those who pay, kill, criminalize, and disable those who defend the law and life. Many, out of fear or blindness, slavishly accommodate the bleak order. We ask you, God, to open the eyes and ears of those who do not see or hear the suffering of your children. Make us sensitive to pain, that we understand that aggression against them is aggression to you. We beseech you, clarity, and courage to do justice to the little ones of this world and guarantee a dignified life.

Supplication of Father Hugo Padilla, Pastor of the San Bautista Episcopal Church:

We beg you to have compassion for the brothers and sisters of San Juan Sacatepéquez who are being victims of the blatant ambition of the cement company, supported by national and international circles of power. Father, they are depriving your people of their lands, regardless of life and legitimate ancestral rights over the territory. Powerful Father, in your compassion, preserve them from the evil that boils in the heart of this ungrateful company, and strengthen the just struggle of the communities of San Juan. Give them the wisdom to face and overcome this evil. Through Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.
