Social Justice Committee:
Yesterday and today are days of Prayer, Fasting and Protests. Today, 1/23/2026 Faith Groups are gathering in Minnesota to stand in solidarity for Peace in their City.
Today many faith communities are gathering in San Francisco to Pray, Protest and Protect.
This Richard Rohr quote is particularly powerful:
“We are all called to be the leaven, the salt, the remnant, the mustard seed that God uses to transform the world. God is calling everyone. Saints (and saints) are those who wake up while in this world, instead of waiting for the next one.”
Stay tuned for more happenings as St. Theresa Social Justice Committee joins with Corpus Christi’s Living Our Faith Group as we try to all live our faith together and be Christ’s hands and feet in this world.
Please join us for now in praying:
Give Us Hearts
God of love and compassion: may we always recognize your spirit:
· in the refugee family, seeking safety from violence;
· in the migrant worker, bringing food to our tables;
· in the asylum-seekers, seeking justice for their families;
· in the unaccompanied child, traveling in a dangerous world.
Give us hearts that break open whenever our brothers and sisters turn to us.
Give us hearts that no longer turn deaf to their voices in times of need;
Give us eyes to recognize a moment for grace instead of a threat.
Give us voices that fail to remain silent but which decide instead to advocate prophetically.
Give us hands that reach out in welcome, but also in work, for a world of justice until all homelands are safe and secure.
Bless us, O Lord...
