Reflection

“There is no one who performs a mighty deed in my name who can at the same time speak ill of me. For whoever is not against us is for us.” ~ Mark 9:39-40

Prayer

Almighty God,

It is often easy to identify that which distinguishes and divides us. We belong to different political parties, different religious traditions, different ethnicities, races, and genders. Yet, we remain united in and by our common humanity. Keep us steadfast in your love that we might be moved by a spirit of solidarity to affirm and promote, despite our differences, the dignity of all. We pray in God’s name. Amen.

Call to Action

What one action can I take, or one commitment can I make today, that will help to promote a spirit of solidarity in a world that often focuses on our differences?
