I attended the first Urban Dolorosa (the sorrowing city) memorial service last night at St. Sabina and it was very moving. I attended the event in order to (1) support Chicago families that have lost children to this senseless violence, (2) to call out the people with guns and say, “stop the killing,” and (3) to ask God’s forgiveness for not doing more to stop this epidemic of death. With this in mind, I’d like to pose the following question to you, “What are you doing to stop the madness?” Your answer might start here. There are four more services this week. I highly recommend attendance and participation in this effort to curb or stop youth violence in Chicago. For more information on how to get involved, go to the Urban Dolorosa website at:
Make a difference. Get involved. Stop the violence.
