And we received this note -

 

The Order of Mercy at Gethsemane would like to thank HVCL’ s Lifenet for its accurate account of the order’s purpose, and an essentially accurate account of its rescue and the incarceration of a Gethsemane adherent for that rescue.

              There was one small and two somewhat more important errors in the account, however, that should perhaps be corrected. The small error is that Bleecker St. has a “ c “ in it. Otherwise, Aug. 15 is the feast of the Assumption, not the Immaculate Conception which is on Dec. 8.

               Finally,the Gethsemane adherent in jail  -  John Doe M9 as the state calls him – asks this correction be made if at all possible :  that he emphatically does not ask “ all to pray the Universal Prayer everyday “ as a means of showing support for his witness. Any prayer of any kind helps to strengthen the Gethsemane order and the witness. The Universal Prayer is especially welcome in that it is the foundational prayer of the order – but saying it daily would demand a particular and difficult commitment which I ask of no one , nor does the Gethsemane order. In fact, a commitment of that kind would qualify any called by God to make it, as third order adherents, committed to upholding those in prison with that prayer. Those inclined to consider such a commitment, however, must first read the Gethsemane Rule, which addresses the order’s purposes generally, and the third order particularly, A copy can be obtained by writing John Broderick at 32 Pine Rd., Syosset, New York, 11791. Please indicate the email or snail mail address the Rule can be sent to.

                 Thank you again for an excellent summary of the Gethsemane order and its witness.
