Parishioners Remember Victims on Good Friday

THE SUFFERING OF JESUS AND PEOPLE HERE IN BALTIMORE. >> TO SEE THE CITY IN 3 DIMENSIONS, THE POVERTY, RACISM, VIOLENCE WE ARE EXPERIENCING, IS JUST WHAT JESUS EXPERIENCED IN MANY WAYS, THE VIOLENCE HE ENCOUNTERED. TO MAKE IT MORE REAL AND TO CONNECT HIS DEATH TO THE DEATHS OF PEOPLE WHO DIE IN THIS CITY EVERY YEAR IN FAR TOO MANY NUMBERS. BARRY: THEIR ROUTE BEGINNING AT THE CHURCH OF THE RESURRECTION ON FAYETTE STREET, MOVING ALONG ROUTE 40 FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST. ALONG THE PATH, MAKING 14 STOPS. 25. OFFERING PRAYER AT OR NEAR THE LOCATIONS WHERE 14 PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES TO VIOLENCE. >> MAY HIS SOUL THROUGH THE MERCY OF GOD REST IN PEACE. >> AMEN. >> I COME INTO THE CITY A LOT. I SPEND TIME AT HOPKINS AND WE STOPPED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE VICINITY OF HOPKINS HOSPITAL AND TO ME, IT REMINDED ME OF THE TIMES I COME FOR WONDERFUL MEDICAL CARE AND I DON'T THINK ABOUT DOWN THE BLOCK SOMEBODY WAS MURDERED. >> REST IN PEACE. AMEN. BARRY: JEFFREY WALKER IS ORIGINALLY FROM CHICAGO.
