During this season, I think we need a double shot…a double shot of reflection time centering on peace…peace within…and peace “without”….
My gift and prayer for each of you today is two fold: Vince Gill singing “Let There Be Peace on Earth” and St. Francis’s Prayer for Peace. Center yourself with what is really important today, opening my 2 gifts:
Gift One: Please take 4 minutes to view this video reflecting on this powerful and much needed message:

Gift Two: Pray with me today for peace. Peace in our minds, our families, and our world.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.
Peace begins within and radiates outward to others. Let’s renew our intentions of spreading peace and hopefully it will be contagious touching the lives of others in our world who so desperately need this message.
Wishing you the peace and joy that is meant for you this holy season.
