Christian Reflection and Prayer

Then Jesus said to [Peter], “Put your sword back into its
place; for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.”
Matthew 26:52

 

I love America more than any other country in the world
and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize
her perpetually.
James Baldwin

 

Prayer
Prince of Peace, your radical gift of self has disarmed us.
Train us in the way of peace.
