Reflection

“Life without prayer is like a barren land. It may be vast but never fruitful.”
~ Darus Salam

Prayer

Ever-present God, today, we celebrate the nighttime journey of the prophet Muhammad to Jerusalem where he ascended to heaven and received the instruction for Muslims to pray five times a day. As our Muslim sisters and brothers celebrate this profound day, may their faith enliven our appreciation of the need to deepen our relationship with God through prayer. May our unity on faith and belief in the power of prayer strengthen the bonds of affection between all peoples. In celebration, we pray. Amen.
