Reflection

“Many attempts to communicate are nullified by saying too much.” –Robert Greenleaf

Prayer

Living Word,

We do well to remember that constantly talking is not the same thing as actually communicating. Some of us need this reminder more than others, yet it’s good advice all the same! Help us learn to speak well; with sincerity, patience, and gentility; and above all with love. Lead us in paths of genuine dialogue, so we can foster a culture of healing and inclusion, where all can flourish. May we be focused on shaping a future together through the words we share today. As a people, a nation, and world, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Be more conscientious in the ways I use my words. Seek to communicate authentically with others today, speaking from my heart with sincerity and listening to my neighbor intently.
