We will "push the pause button" during this day of prayer and explore the call to balance, with the grace of God active in our lives. We will look at the imbalances and prayerfully plan what to change, how to grow, what to delete and what to add to our agendas. We will use scriptures, poetry, art and music to enhance our reflections. There will be talks and silent times for contemplation.

The Catholic Committee of Appalachia has been listening to the cries of the poor and the earth since 1970. Its hallmark: three pastoral letters published over the last forty years that have told the story of a land and people struggling for survival against a system of exploitation and indifference. The third pastoral letter, issued in 2015, did not come from the Catholic bishops of Appalachia, but from the people themselves. It was a bold and prophetic step, to listen yet again to the cries of the poor and of the earth, to bring the “periphery” into the center, and to create new paths forward toward justice, peace and wholeness in their communities and for creation. Experience the empowerment, unexpected collaboration, and deep transformations that have taken place, in areas of the environment, immigration, interfaith dialogue and pastoral reform. Far from the corridors of the Vatican, the real Francis impact is lived and felt by people inspired by the Pope’s call for more compassion, inclusion, sustainability and dialogue in a world torn apart. The Day of Prayer will center around the film by Salt +Light Media highlighting this story.
