Praying in solidarity with those unjustly detained
They keep coming back, week after week, to pray for the release of the detainees… What drives them to pray for total strangers who have been unjustly detained? It is their belief that God cares deeply about justice for everyone.
The weekly Wednesday Masses continue to be held at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Pulau Tikus, Penang. About a hundred people turned up tonight to pray for the release of ISA detainees and the repeal of the ISA. One senior nun was seen wearing not one, but two ‘Abolish ISA’ badges!
Assistant parish priest Fr Mark Michael celebrated the Mass this time. In his homily, he urged the parishoners to pray for those who have been deprived of their rights, especially the ISA detainees. He also asked the congregation to pray for those experiencing persecution and oppression in other countries as well. “The cries of persecution are painful to hear,” he said.
After the Mass, many made a beeline to the desk outside where Abolish ISA T-shirts were being sold. The red T-shirts were especially popular. Others continued to sign the “Abolish ISA” signature petitions.
The weekly Masses will continue until the ISA is repealed and all detainees are released.
