The
following prayer was sent to me by Sadlier Publishing Co. It seems appropriate to share it on this
Memorial Day. “Give us the grace to find
alternatives to vengeance and violence, and the courage to advocate for
peaceful solutions to our conflicts. Center
our hope in you
so that, like the prophet Isaiah, we, too, envision a world without war. With
all hope in your power and presence, we pray.”
As
we celebrate this Memorial Day may we always remember those who have died serving
our country. It is a somber day as it is
raining and rather gloomy. Last night
there was a wonderful tribute to our armed forces from our nation’s
capital. It was an amazing tribute to
all who served both living and deceased.
As we celebrate today let us take time to pause and reflect on the true
reason for this day and remember with gratitude all who paid the ultimate
sacrifice. Happy Memorial Day!
