A QUOTE, A TEXT AND A PRAYER…OR TWO
A QUOTE
Must you continue to be your own cross? No matter which way God leads you, you change everything into bitterness by constantly brooding over everything. For the love of God, replace all this self-scrutiny with a pure and simple glance at God’s goodness. –Saint Jeanne Chantal
A TEXT
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
John 14:27 (NLT)
AND A PRAYER…OR TWO
Lord, heal your Church; heal the wounds of the past, and those we inflict on each other now. Free us from party-spirit, and forgive us when we fail to listen to each other.
Lift up our hearts to you, so that we may be filled with resurrection joy beyond all division, and with your spirit of love, which nothing can destroy.
Lord in your Mercy; Hear our prayer.
