Christian Reflection and Prayer

Verse

"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and
a tooth for a tooth.' But I say to you: Do not resist an
evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right
cheek, turn the other also; and if anyone wants to sue
you and take your coat, give your cloak as well."
Matthew 5:38-40

Voice

That is our vocation: to convert the enemy into a guest
and to create the free and fearless space where
brotherhood and sisterhood can be formed and
fully experienced.
Henri J.M. Nouwen


Prayer

Forgive, O Lord, what we have been
Direct what we are,
And order what we shall be,
For thy mercy's sake. Amen.
