An Albuquerque group prayed for a fair and compassionate federal budget at Bataan Memorial Park on Sunday. | |||
The group hopes to touch the hearts of the congressional super committee in charge of reducing the national deficit. | |||
"Our God hears the cry of the children, blessed be our God,” the group prayed. | |||
The people that came to Bataan Park have different religions but they all have faith in the power of prayer and they are focusing it on the most disadvantaged people in our country. | |||
They are praying for the super committee to have compassion on the needy. | |||
The committee is supposed to shave off nearly $1.2 trillion dollars from the federal budget. | |||
“Every tradition understands that prayer is the way to address and also to speak to injustices,” one woman said. | |||
The prayer focused on help for the needy that use programs like WIC, job training for unemployed adults and public education. | |||
“There is a large population of our country who are really desperate and in that point of desperation they have no voice,” David Cameron said. “So those of us who are not there yet, I think have responsibility to be their voice." | |||
The group's vigil lasted for about half an hour but many of those who participated said their daily prayers ask lawmakers for compassion. | |||
