Let us be in solidarity with Jim, Paul and Luis
In the early Christian community prior to
ordination there was the practice that the
members of the Christian community would
gather in Vigil. Praying, fasting and being in
solidarity with the one to be ordained, they
called upon the Holy Spirit to be not only with
the one to be ordained but also that with him
and through him the Christian community would
continue to be empowered by the Holy Spirit.
