The 30th annual Martin Luther King March found the four of us Sisters out on Avenue I in Greenwood, MS. in front of the St. Francis Center. As the crowd gathered we saw Father Greg, some of our Secular Franciscans, parishioners, and many other Greenwood friends. As Martin Luther King is known to have said; “Love is the most durable power in the world.”
- Hey, I see you!
- You are being watched Sister Elena!
- Sister Mary Ann is proud and ready!
- Sister Kathleen enjoying the moment
As people came together enjoying the beautiful day and each other, these words of Martin Luther King seemed to have come to life among us; “Forgiveness is not an occasional act, it is a constant attitude.”
- In the words of MLK; “We have decide to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.”
- “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.” MLK
“Not only have we come a long long way, we have a long long way to go.” MLK
- The crowd sang as we marched through the streets. “We are marching in the Light of God. We are marching in the light of God.We are living in the love of God. We are living in the love of God …”
- “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” MLK
- The best place to see all the action!
“Life’s’ most persistent and urgent question is, “What have you done for others?” Martin Luther King
- “The time is always right to do what is right.” MLK
- “Let no man pull you so low as to hate him” MLK
- Friendship Missionary Baptist Church was the end of the march. Here a church service was held.
