Today’s Reflection: My St. Francis of the rose garden is photographed often. Here he stands with an excerpt of the peace prayer, so appropriate for these times: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy. — Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.
