Thought for the week …
A prayer for seasons of Remembrance
"God of Consolation, every time we mark an anniversary that recalls a time of war or an act of violence, we struggle to make sense of our world. As time moves on, remind us of the call to remain open-hearted. May our memory not harden into fear and anger, but pulse with compassion and generosity. Give us the collective voice to speak fro healing and forgiveness, and bring us the peace we long for. Amen"
