Vision to See

A prayer for peace
for the faith to hope
a vision to see
the cessation of violence
the harmony of nations
of people across the earth
in a unity of purpose
offering our witness
of the grace of God
his presence with us
guiding our journey ever
praying for our neighbors
all the people on earth

“Michelle and I join with millions of Christians
here and across the world to mark Ash Wednesday.
As we observe the season of Lent, we receive
with thanksgiving this opportunity for grace and repentance,
recommit ourselves to our faith, and
remember our obligations to one another.”
