Reflection

“The goodness of the world only prevails when we are courageous enough to defend it.”
~ Alicia Garza

Prayer

God of goodness and love,

Sometimes we might be tempted to feel overwhelmed by the many issues with which we are confronted on a daily basis. Sometimes we might be tempted to doubt the presence of goodness in others. Give us the courage to overcome these feelings of doubt. Strengthen us that we might see the good in one another, contributing our energy to creating an environment in which the goodness of others can combine to make a better world in which justice and kindness can thrive. We pray in God’s name. Amen.
