Reflection

“Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution.”
~ Albert Einstein

Prayer

God of wisdom,

We live in a contentious world, full of division, animosity, and spite. But we know that is not the path to which you call us. Cleanse our minds of the negativity that afflicts our age and purify our hearts that we might seek only to love others. May your spirit of gratitude and kindness soften the hardness of our own hearts and the hearts of others. Help us recognize our common humanity and commit ourselves to being faithful to your call to walk humbly and do justice. Amen.

Call to Action

What one action can I take, or one commitment can I make today, that will soften my heart and the hearts of others and by so doing strengthen a sense of solidarity with others?
