Halloween

Reflection

“One of the secrets of a happy life is continuous small treats.” –Iris Murdoch

Prayer

Merciful God,

For many of us Halloween is a frivolous excuse to eat some sweet treats, act a little silly, and build up our sense of community. For others, however, it can become dangerous or a real cause for anxiety. Today, then, we ask for safety and protection for all, especially children and their families, as they enjoy the day’s festivities. May your light shine brightly in the darkness, guiding our paths and filling our hearts with peace. Amen.

Call to Action

Have some light-hearted fun today. Share a sweet token of friendship with colleagues and neighbors, while keeping my eyes open for the safety of others.
