There is not a day goes by, nor a night, that the thought of my heart
is not immersed in Prayer and Presence, in concentrated lovingkindness
toward and embracing and enveloping and for the deliverence and healing:
of all victims of perpetrators and predators, of victims who later could
themselves become perpetrators, and of victims who remain victims.
Not a moment actually goes by without my holding close to my breast
in prayer and in yearning, those daughters in Nigeria
who are my own concern, and women and gays and Christians and childrenthroughout the abetted and vetted cultures of tyranny and violence, who are
either persecuted, terrorized, tortured, murdered or "executed" -
while Islam may have no monopoly on such outrages,
it certainly has a corner on that market.
Children who are mistreated and abused systematically, kidnapped,
sold for sex in a most unkind cult and culture of pädophilia, more widespread
and abetted than one cares to imagine - networked, as with satanic covens
(which one dare not mention);
these occupy indeed my politically powerless days of which there is not oneto which I don't dedicate hours to Prayer and Presence.
Where in Scripture is spoken of "not merely persons but
powers and principalities,"
we can speak today of lobbies, networks and tyrannies, systems ofoverweening presence and power and designs on absolute control.
Therefore: Prayer and Presence, the presence of real light,
and the prayer of faith - to fight for the light against the night, with
faith in the face of all daunting odds, of power which is of the world, of
indifference and of decadence, of sloth of heart.
Of all the tea-candles I burn in a week, the one constant is the
six-day oil candle which burns and is replaced, that this flame is
never extinguished, but burns 24/7, burns undeterred for those
who belong to ourselves, those whom we want to see free.
So for the hundreth time I am invited any reading this,
to join me in the following:
