That as we are called to be instruments of peace, we may choose words that heal rather than hurt, speak with gentleness and charity, and refrain from harsh language and rash judgment.
That, as we celebrate 140 years of faith, we may listen to Jesus each day, making time to pray, choosing patience in our families, and serving someone in need.
This Lent, may we actively practice prayer, fasting, and almsgiving each day by making time for God through prayer, serving others with love, and opening our eyes to the needs around us.
