Excerpt:
...Before embarking on the hour of silence, the group contemplated a prayer written by Sister Helen Prejean, whose ministry to Louisiana death-row inmate Patrick Sonnier was featured in the movie "Dead Man Walking."

"For there is in our land a great cry for vengeance, as we fill up death rows and kill the killers in the name of justice, in the name of peace," Prejean's prayer said. "Jesus, our brother, you suffered execution at the hands of the state but you did not let hatred overcome you."
