Reflection

“The person who removes a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.”
~ Confucius

Prayer

Almighty God,

So often, the myriad problems we encounter in the world can threaten to overwhelm us and leave us feeling powerless. Yet, we trust that you will never abandon us. Stir within us the hope that all our actions, no matter how small or ordinary, may contribute to the construction of a better world. Though the mountain you call us to climb may be large, fill us with the confidence that the future is in your hands. We pray in the name of God. Amen.

Call to Action

What one action can I take, or one commitment can I make today, that will contribute to the world moving mountains by carrying away some small stones?
