6/17: Albuquerque Prayer Vigil for Healing of the Waters of the Gulf of Mexico
From New Mexico Interfaith Power & Light (NMIPL):
We will sponsor a prayer vigil for the healing of the waters in the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday, June 17, at 5:30 PM in Morningside Park, two blocks south of Central and four blocks east of Carlisle. Oil as an instrument of comfort and healing, rather than as an agent of destruction, will be the focus of the gathering, which will feature readings, prayers and the anointing of one another with fragrant and soothing oil.
The disaster in the Gulf touches us with a sense of sadness and even powerlessness. It is an invitation to join in community to pray for healing for people, creatures, our oceans and life. You are invited to gather for prayer and reflection at Morningside Park where the Thursday afternoon Grower's Market takes place. Look for gathering at the opposite end of the park from the Grower's market, after you have shopped.
New Mexico Interfaith Power & Light is a statewide coalition of more than one hundred and fifty faith communities committed to creation care.

Folks currently are questioning if God is so good, then why did He cause, or why did He allow the Deepwater Disaster to occur, killing 11 innocent men, and putting the entire eco system of the Gulf of Mexico into a catastrophic decline. And it’s not only the ecosystem but the future health and livelihoods of the Gulf’s inhabitants and possibly those of the entire southern parts of the USA. – Not to mention innocent people elsewhere, which the deadly toxins might affect, as is being postulated currently.
