My parish, St. Vincent De Paul in St. Louis, began Wednesday evening vigils on our church steps to pray for the people and situation at the Border. The half-hour of a short reflection followed by prayer provides time and space to call the people at the border into our hearts.
Last week, as parishioners gathered, one of our street residents, with dirty clothes in shreds, shambled up the steps and went through the church doors, carrying a plastic food container.
One of the other parishioners and I followed him into the church to see if he needed anything.
