The various initiatives of Together<\/em> in Paris<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On April 2, <\/strong>we met to hold an ecumenical prayer meeting in the really magnificent chapel of the Deaconesses of Reuilly in Paris. This meeting was organized and conducted by the Together for Europe<\/em> group together with the local community.<\/p>\n

\u201cGood evening to you all and thank you for being here. In a few days\u2019 time the elections for the European Parliament will be held, and we want to offer to God all the debates and ideas which continually invade our minds and hearts. Thus we want to pray together for Europe\u201d.\u00a0That was how we welcomed each other.<\/p>\n

A brief presentation of this Together for Europe<\/em> initiative was followed by singing, meditations and moments of silence.\u00a0The culminating moment was experienced just after the meditation upon the \u201c7 Yeses\u201d proclaimed in the 2007 Stuttgart Message<\/a>: each person was invited to write, read and then attach his\/her prayer on a map of Europe.\u00a0Our prayer then focused upon the whole world, particularly upon Africa thanks to a singer who has lived in that Continent for many years.\u00a0When the prayer meeting was over, people found it hard to say goodbye: their relationships of unity had become profound.<\/p>\n

On May 4, <\/strong>we celebrated the Feast for Europe in the square of the City Council, just like last year. Together with other 40 Associations which promote Europe, we have set up a stand in the \u00abVillage Europ\u00e9en<\/em>\u00bb. This allowed us to have numerous contacts with the Parisians and other Europeans who just happened to be there. This year we focused upon the presentation of the \u201c7 Yeses\u201d. Many persons told us that these were exactly what they yearned for.<\/p>\n

On May 14, <\/strong>the Emmanuel<\/em> community took the initiative to organize a Prayer Vigil for Europe in a beautiful Church at Longjumeau, near Paris.\u00a0This started with a presentation of Together for Europe<\/em>, which was then followed by some fantastic singing of praise and many prayer intentions for Europe on the basis of the \u201c7 Yeses\u201d which were presented as meditations.\u00a0The feedback we got after the Vigil convinced us that, since the Vigil was held on the eve of the European elections, that time spent in prayer was a privileged opportunity, indeed necessary, to entrust everything unto the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n
