Reflection

“The birds of hope are everywhere, listen to them sing.” ~ Terri Guillemets

Prayer

Loving Lord,

So often, it seems all we hear is bad news. The pandemic, violence, racial injustice, and threats to our planet dominate the news. Yet, in faith, we know that you are with us and will never abandon us. Give us the strength to trust in you and the courage to lead our lives knowing our future is in your hands. May our confidence in your saving plan fill us with hope and inspire us to contribute to the future you are even now in the process of realizing. We pray in the name of our ever-present and ever-living Lord. Amen.
