My local parish has been surprisingly good during all this! The peace vigil was mostly prayers for loved ones who were in the military and included petitions for Saddam to "just leave" as one lady put it and also for the world to awaken to the evils of the Iraqi government.

That's good to hear that someone is doing it right. I am constantly amazed at those who overlook the evils of what Saddam has been doing for years, and so quick to judge (wrongly imho) our reaction to it.

In all fairness, we have also been praying for the safety and support of our troops, and their safe return. Even the same nun made it a special point to say a special Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be for them after The Stations of The Cross last Friday.

Thank goodness, there are some of us parishoners that try to hold the "conservative" line there. Otherwise, I'd be out of there a long time ago.
