On November 16, 1989, six Jesuits, their housekeeper and her daughter were murdered. Today, on November 16, 2012, we remember Ignacio Ellacuria, SJ; Ignacio Martin-Baro, SJ; Segundo Montes, SJ; Amando Lopez, SJ; Joaquin Lopez y Lopez, SJ; Juan Ramon Moreno, SJ; Julia Elba Ramos; and Cecilia Ramos. Creighton University has a page on its site with a wealth of information not only from 1989, but also from the years since then. Click here to access the material and pray for an end to the government-sponsored violence and oppression that continue in many countries around the world.
We pray, also, for those converging on Fort Benning, Georgia this weekend. Check tomorrow's blog post for more information.
