Peace in the world begins with peace in our lives
A thought for today
Peace is certainly something we can want and pray for in our world. There is much unrest and violence that disrupts the peace of humanity. We can work to settle disputes and discourage violence, but perhaps peace starts closer to home.
We each have places of unrest, and perhaps if we work for peace here, inside our lives, we might be able to know more of God’s peace in the world.
A Prayer
O Radiant Dawn,
Splendour of eternal light,
Sun of justice:
Come, shine on those who dwell in darkness
and the shadow of death
