Today in Peace and Justice History: Sept 5,
Christ be our light.m4v
May the light of Christ be the guiding force that leads us in these dark times of fear, stress, and uncertainty. May the Divine Spirit empower us to be witnesses of radical love and compassion through out each day.
As we long for peace and security, may we always remember that we are here together on the same road journeying to the God of Peace, who lets the sun shine on the good/bad, the weak/strong and through this realization, may we find our true unity. Amen.
Please share and like! Be a spark of hope!

Pope Francis: the grace of His Light saves us
We have the authority of Jesus who was the ultimate Peacemaker. Let your light shine upon the darkness. For as the old chinese proverb says "it is better to shine a light than to curse the darkness."
Pray that the LIght of the Divine will permeate your entire being and call you to a life of profound and/radical love.
