Be Outraged!

Is it just Me...

No, I know it isn't; how could it be?

It took almost three weeks for the world to hear the story of hundreds of young Nigerian girls having been taken form their school in Lagos, Nigeria...almost three weeks.

As we hear the story now, the Nigerian government was aware of the planned kidnappings hours before they occurred.  Despite the offer of assistance from nearby allies, the Nigeria leader seemed to stand by and do nothing.

I am writing this on Mother's Day.  All day long, I wondered how hundreds of Nigerian women long for the safe return of their daughters not knowing it they will ever be reunited.  Mother's Day is just one more 24 hour period; it's been 4 weeks; 672 agonizing hours!

From the Vicar of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, I to neighbor-hoods  around the world, we are asked to pray; so we must.

We must be outraged.  We must stay outraged.  

Please pay attention to what may be going on in your neighborhoods and in your house of worship.  Do what you can to support the global initiative to being these girls home; to bring them home soon and safely.

Pray these girls have the courage, the strength and the resolve to go on with their lives and to remain strong and lean on each other until each of them can stand on their own.

Pray for the mother's, the father's the siblings of the abducted girls, pray for a nation that did nothing to prevent this from happening, pray an atrocity such as this never happens again.

BE OUTRAGED....STAY OUTRAGED
