May I be the rock, the
pebble,
the stone cast into the
water;
May I send out ripples
to become a great wave
May I heed the calling
the command of Christ;
May I start by speaking love
forgiveness for my neighbor
May I not wait for others,
for their action,
for an apology from those
who hurt us;
I seek to follow Christ’s
command
to love as He loved (and
loves) us

“Today my prayers are many, but the one that
weighs heaviest on my heart is that our Heavenly Father guide our hearts to
speak with love, mercy and compassion and not with venom, poison, and hate.
Amen.”
