As we journey to the Rosebud Reservation we seek a new viewpoint. We keep in mind that the best view often comes after the hardest climb.
Our climb may take us outside of our comfort zone as we travel together, meet a new community, experience a new landscape, and hear stories that impact us in unexpected ways.
With a renewed understanding of the history of our country and the people on the Rosebud Reservation, may we grow in solidarity with our Native sisters and brothers.
Pope Francis prays that God’s mercy be poured out on the earth and the gentle rhythm of peace returned to mark our days. May Mary, our “living fountain of hope,” water the dryness of our hearts and lead us now on the path of peace. May the Rivers of Peace flow through our group and the people we meet as we stand on this very sacred ground.
