Reflection

“Kindness and truth shall meet; justice and peace shall kiss. Truth shall spring out of the earth, and justice shall look down from heaven.” –Psalm 85:11-12

Prayer

World-changing God,

As citizens together, we humbly ask for more creative and effective imaginations. Help us to envision, and then implement concretely, the meeting of kindness and truth. The fusion of justice and peace. In a world of division and competition, may we emerge as agents of unity and solidarity, building a community together that can both protect and defend those most in need while establishing conditions for the good of all. Let your will be done, through us, as it is in heaven. Amen.

Call to Action

Set aside five minutes to imagine the very places I live, work, and play—graced by kindness, truth, justice, and peace. How can I embody these gifts for the sake of others today?
