Tue, 15 Jan 2013 22:13:51 +0000 http://www.jesuit.org/blog/?p=7585#comment-18570 I am grateful Fr. Putthoff and the staff of Hopeworks are with the People of Camden. I will pray for all of them. I admire those being present with the People. I understand somewhat the great grief of those suffering in situations where PTSD is 'normal.' Those serving the people are truly living out the vision Saint Ignatius of Loyola had, to walk with the risen Christ carrying his cross today with those suffering today. As Fr James Martin, S.J. says, they are loving those who are marginalized before it is safe to do so. Many blessings and Hope in the middle of all of this; God is there in a special way.
