Reflection

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.” –Rumi

Prayer

God of communion,

Help us speak boldly about what we believe to be true, right, and good. Just as urgently, though, lead us to listen, with sincere consideration and without any prejudice. Turn our eyes and our ears to those we are prone to overlook and ignore because we assume there is no common ground. Induce in us the virtue of humility that we might model a community built on genuine dialogue. May we find our way through this thicket of brokenness and into your pasture of peace together. Together, we pray, Amen.

Call to Action

Remind myself as often as I need to: stop judging; start listening.
