39] - Pax Christi Metro DC-Baltimore [info@paxchristimdcb.org] on Feb. 18, Ash Wednesday, from noon to 1 PM will hold a prayer service on Capitol Hill, outside Cannon House OB, 27 Independence Ave. SE, WDC. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a time for personal and societal repentance, radical conversion, renewal and transformation. Living under the brutal occupation of the Roman Empire, Jesus declared: "The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the Gospel." (Mark 1:15) Living in the U.S. Empire, which is responsible for so much death and suffering in our world, heed Jesus' proclamation now more than ever!
On Ash Wednesday, people from the faith-based peace and justice community in the DMV will hold a prayer service near the US Capitol to call for repentance and conversion of ourselves, our society and our churches to the Gospel way of justice, nonviolence and a reverence for all life and creation. We decry the reign of terror that the Trump Administration is carrying out on all fronts. This includes the horrific ICE raids and killings, and detention, deportation of immigrants; military intervention in Venezuela; continued support for Israel's genocidal war in Gaza and ethnic cleansing of Palestine; military threats against Iran, attempts to takeover Greenland and destabilizing actions against Cuba; massive cuts in health care and other vital services for people who are poor while granting tax breaks for those who are wealthy; increasing the military budget to over $1 trillion; and policy directives that exacerbate the climate crisis.
