Our communities stand in deep lament as HCR2060, the deeply divisive "Secure the Border Act," passed through the Senate in the Arizona Legislature yesterday. This outcome represents a significant setback for justice, equality, and compassion in our state.

Blessed Creator, here we are again, stumbling along a Lenten path, feeling our way in dusky twilight all too often. Walk beside us, we pray, as we struggle for justice where it seems feeble. Fill our souls with the power of Your love, to overcome all loves of power.
