Today’s Reflection: If it is peace you want, seek to change yourself, not others. It is easier to protect your feet with slippers, than to carpet the whole of the earth. – Anthony De Mello, SJ

Today’s Reflection: Give us hearts
of forgiveness and peace,
Lord Jesus,
that we may open ourselves
to relationship and reconciliation,
rather than distrust and division,
seeing each other
as the neighbours we are,
one family in your love,
bearers of your image,
your grace,
your love. – Bill Braviner, Anglican Archbishop of Halifax, U.K

Today’s Reflection:
Saint Francis, our brother, you who eight hundred years ago
went to meet Sister Death as a man at peace,
intercede for us before the Lord.
You recognized true peace in the Crucifix of San Damiano,
teach us to seek in Him the source of all reconciliation
that breaks down every wall.
You, who unarmed, crossed the lines of war and misunderstanding, give us the courage to build bridges where the world raises up boundaries.
In this time afflicted by conflict and division, intercede for us so that we may become peacemakers: unarmed and disarming witnesses of the peace that comes from Jesus.— Pope Leo’s A Prayer for the Jubilee Year of St. Francis

Today’s Reflection: Prayer for Peace
Lead me from death to life,
from falsehood to truth.
Lead me from despair to hope,
from fear to truth.
Lead me from hate to love,
from war to peace.
Let peace fill my heart, my world, my universe.
Amen,
—Pax Christi, from Loyola Kids Book of Everyday Prayers
