SUMMARY:Ecumenical vigil for those who have died trying to get to Europe for a safer life (July)
DESCRIPTION:On the third Monday of every month\, at 12.30-1.30pm there is an ecumenical vigil outside the Home Office in Marsham Street\, London\, to pray for people who have died trying to get to Europe for a safer life. It’s always a moving occasion\, with all the names read out and how and where they were found. Attenders now bring flowers\, and last time they had a map on which to place them as each name was read. \nIn June\, the vigil met on the first day of Refugee Week. There was a very large gathering\, including many young people from several Catholic schools in London and Birmingham. \nThis event is organised by the Catholic diocese of Westminster\, and includes many from Pax Christi\, the Catholic Worker and numerous churches. This is an issue which is precious to Quakers too\, and the Quakers who attend hope you can join them. \nThe following reflection was written by a student who attended the last vigil: \nPrayer Vigil at the Home office for Migrants – The Courage to Stand as One \n“Gathering outside the Home Office for our refugee memorial prayer service was a deeply moving experience. Under the theme of ‘Courage’ which is the theme for this year’s Refugee Week\, we came together to pray for all those who have tragically lost their lives seeking safety. \nStanding in front of the gates of power\, the spiritual impact was profound. As we prayed for the deceased\, all barriers dissolved—we stood united as one human family in the eyes of God\, ensuring their dignity is never forgotten. \nEqually impactful was the incredible community I discovered. Meeting so many people who share my exact passion and urgent need for change was inspiring. We brought our grief to the Home Office\, but we left united\, strengthened\, and ready to fight for a more compassionate world.” \n– Marie S\, Year 12 \n
