article by the blogger Elizabeth Scalia here:
I just arrived home from a prayer and adoration vigil at Our
Lady of Good Counsel for the Christians in the Middle East. It was a good prayer time, attended by about
100 people. At the end, Fr. Steve
announced that one of the people present had printed up some bumper stickers,
with the above symbol on it. They are
meant to show our unity with Christians around the world, our willing to be
noticed --- and marked.
I thought that was a wonderful idea, and put my bumper sticker
on before I left the parking lot. I
dropped off others to friends. More
will be printed for distribution to the parish on Sunday. The mass and the Eucharist are visible signs in
the church that we are together, in Christ.
This bumper sticker is for the world to see the same message.
I like that.
