Last weekend I partipated in the Palm Sunday walk in support of refugees, peace and justice. Over 15,000 people participated in the rally, and even though I came down from the Blue Mountains on my own, I never at any time felt alone. Such a large body of like minded people walking as one for the poor and oppressed in the world was very moving - and for me it is where my Christian faith takes me, for as Bono has said - there is only one mention of judgement in the Bible and over 2000 references on the poor.
The walk was lead by various religious leaders, Christian and other faiths coming together in a common cause.
As I alternatively walked under the banners of the Sisters of St Joseph and Drop the Debt I just imagined Bono walking beside me arm in arm. It was a wonderful feeling, and made me realise how much he
has changed my life, bringing back my passion for a better world. I now belong to various groups at church and elswhere.
It was a great day, and on the home in the car i listened to ATYCLB- SO MOVING AND
INSPIRING.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
