Ambrose wasn鈥檛 complaining about the cold, though in 20 minutes he went from dancing and shilling for a web site to saying he was so depressed he wanted to die. He said he wanted newspapers to stop calling people homeless, because God said that wherever He lays his head is home. Therefore there鱿鱼视频app no such thing as homelessness.
As prayers continued, Ambrose shared a box of sushi rescued from the garbage with the pigeons who dominate Nathan Phillips Square.
The annual Thanksgiving Day prayers in solidarity with the homeless was organized by Our Lady鱿鱼视频app Missionary Sister Susan Moran and 6 St. Joseph founder David Walsh. The opening prayer was offered by Good Shepherd Brother Tom Liss, as a start to a day when the Good Shepherd Centre would serve 1,400 meals on Toronto鱿鱼视频app downtown east side.
Three dozen people 鈥� some homeless, some former homeless and some who work in the shelter system 鈥� turned out for the prayers, singing 鈥淐ry of the Poor.鈥�
