Our RCWP-Southern community met on Friday. What a treat to gather in the warmth of the Sarasota sun and Bridget Mary's home. We began by singing Marsie Silvestro's "Let the women be there." We shared stories of our ministries, our needs, hopes and dreams. Spirit moving freely -- the ideas flowed. We captured them on paper. They include a home and services for homeless women and a billboard campaign for the upcoming RCWP ordination in Atlanta.

Celebration on the Baptism of Jesus -- Jan. 12, 2009
The Spirit revived us with Her fire as community gathered to pray, share stories of the Good News, ask for healing and celebrate Eucharist with each other. In our liturgy we remembered the Baptism of Jesus.
Holy Spirit, Breath of God,
come and light a fire of love;
love that welcomes truth and kindness,
love revealing God's embrace of all.

Roman Catholic Womanpriest: Janice Sevre-Duszynska: War Devastating to Vast Majority of Iraqis
Janice Sevre-Duszynska wrote this Op.Ed. that appeared in the Lexington Herald Leader on January 12, 2209
"....Women have been systematically attacked by theocratic militias on both sides of the sectarian divide, but the most widespread violence has been committed by the Shiite militias affiliated with the U.S.-backed government -- the Badr Brigade and the Mahdi Army. These groups have waged their campaign of terror against women with weapons, training and money provided by the U.S...."
