For peace in homes and peace in and among nations may we become instruments of peace and bearers of the Good News. We pray in order to heal the wounds, to reconcile grievances and to be in solidarity with those who are oppressed.
We all have needs. What are the needs we all share as human beings? What are my individual needs at this time? What are the needs of my family? Our HUMAN FAMILY? We do our best to meet our needs and those of others close to us. Let us reflect on our faith and trust in a loving God who enlightens our understanding and prompts our conscience to guide us in our daily lives to do what is life-giving.
Amen.
Faithful God by Shannon Wexelberg [Complete Album with Lyrics]:
Something of God is reflected in the created universe. So, each time we experience the beauty of nature, the joy of new life and the wonder of the expanding universe, may we come to know more of the greatness of God.
There are many who are suffering in our world from illness, hunger, loneliness and wars. May we learn to live as brothers and sisters and ease one another’s burdens.
As we offer prayers of thanks, let us be mindful of the daily blessings you send us, God of surprises. We pray that we may appreciate every moment of our lives, making the most out of opportunities sent our way.
