❗️We want to work with YOU to plan a Day of Action on August 13, which would have been Mark's 66th birthday and is traditionally back-to-school season. 
We hope to see #vigils and #ofrendas wherever people have been #MarkedByCovid to honor the lives lost, raise awareness of the severity of the pandemic, and urge our elected officials to make science-based decisions and open #OnlyWhenItsSafe.
Details coming soon. In the meantime, visit MarkedByCovid.com to help plan an event or donate to support the movement.

In the #Vigils office, the reading was St. Augustine and it started with the line, “The Beatitudes start with humility...”

It is by far the longest chapter in the Rule. In it, Benedict sees the way of humility as a ladder and likens it to the ladder Jacob saw (Genesis 28) “...on which Angels appeared to [Jacob] descending and ascending.” (RSB4:6)
