молитися за Україну (Pray for Ukraine)

The situation in Ukraine has been unraveling.

Kyiv is on fire. Flashes lighting up the winter night sky as police and the opposition face off.

What started out as a difference of opinion has morphed into a human rights issue and is headed toward civil war.

Lord Jesus.

As I type this my eyes are welling with tears and my heart feel like it will burst with emotions.

Ukraine. Land of sunflowers and deep friendships and delicious food and lyrical language. And of my sweet son.

My heart breaks.

St. Michael's bells are ringing. A call to arms? A call to God?

Please, Readers, pray and care. Care to the marrow of your bones about our brothers and sisters whose country is facing such instability.

It is easy to feel removed. To shrug off responsibility for things that seem too big for our human hands. But we are the hands and feet of God. And those bells that are tolling? They are tolling for all of us. So rise up!

Pray! Write your congressman! PRAY!

There is always something to be done and anyone who would tell you different is leading you astray.
