Today’s Reflection: May I be at peace.
May my heart remain open.
May I be aware of my true nature.
May I be healed.
May I be a source of healing to others.
May I dwell in the breath of God. —St. Teresa of Avila

Today’s Reflection: 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.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen. —Attributed to St. Francis of Assisi

Today’s Reflection: Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not the silent result of violent repression. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism. Peace is generosity. It is right and it is duty. — Saint Oscar Romero

Today’s Reflection: Prayer
The fruit of silence is prayer,
the fruit of prayer is faith,
the fruit of faith is love,
the fruit of love is service,
and the fruit of service is peace. — St. Teresa of Calcutta

Today’s Reflection: Litany of Peace
One God, so many people are in pain.
All Teach us the way to peace.
One When people around us don’t agree and think differently,
All Teach us to listen and try to understand.
One When we see people getting hurt,
All Teach us to speak up.
One When we see people treated poorly because of their skin color, or language, or religious belief,
All Teach us to be an example of love and acceptance.
One When we see war and conflict,
All Teach us how to make a difference and seek peace.
One When we see pain,
All Teach us to bring healing,
One When we feel confused and afraid,
All Remind us to talk to our friends, our family and to you.
One In our lives, our neighborhoods and the world,
All Teach us to pray and teach us the way of peace. – Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
