Martha Hennessy
Prayer for Martha Hennessy
Oh Lord, as Catholics we offer our gratitude
to Martha Hennessy, granddaughter of Dorothy Day, for continuing the work of the Plowshares 7 and the Catholic Worker, opposing nuclear arms and warfare,
which have been condemned by our Church,
and helping feed the hungry and serve those in need.
She will now be serving ten months in prison
for entering a nuclear arsenal
and painting peace signs and messages on its walls.
She caused very little actual damage.
Oh Lord, we pray for you to be with her
with your love and support,
helping her to endure and survive her imprisonment.
She is being punished for serving humanity
and working to save the lives of all of us,
by witnessing to the evil of nuclear arms and nuclear war.
May she emerge healthy and well
and return to those she loves
and who love her,
as do we all.
We pray for peace, shalom for all humanity.
Amen
