Pray

Castles, churches and crucifixes are visible everywhere in South Tyrol, Italy.  Overall, the people enjoy a high standard of living with little unemployment and a low crime rate.  A group of prayerwalkers from the GERMANIC CLUSTER give praise for the opportunity to explore this area and to “pray on site with insight” for the people here of whom the majority are German-speakers.  Through a conversation with a policeman, some of the prayerwalkers learned that the people have few needs and that drugs and alcohol are the main problems they have to deal with.  Other members of the group discovered that segregation exists between the Italians and Germans living in this area and one German waitress described the Italians as being “strange and different.”  Although the people have few physical needs, their spiritual needs are great.  Intercede that their eyes will be opened and that the lies of the evil one will be dispelled.  Petition the Father to call out workers to share the Good News with these German-speakers.   Intercede that the South Tyroleans will realize that the Son is interested in a personal relationship with them and not in religious traditions and rituals.
