“Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.  Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.  Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony  And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.”     Colossians 3:12-15

Keep your eyes on the prince of peace, the one who doesn’t cling to his divine power; the one who refuses to turn stones into bread, jump from great heights, and rule with great power…; the one who touches the lame, the cripples, and the blind, the one who speaks words of forgiveness and encouragement…Keep your eyes on him who becomes poor with the poor, weak with the weak.  He is the source of all peace.    -Henri Nouwen

Action:  Do something kind for someone anonymously.

Prayer:  O God, fill my heart with the peace that passes all understand and comes from you.  Teach me how to be an instrument of your peace and give me courage to live a life of peace.  Amen.
