SUMMARY SENTENCE:
God has called us to prioritize peace.PRAYER:
You know, O Lord, the recipe of the world. Those who live by the sword die by the sword. Too often my words are sharp and defensive. Help me to lay down my verbal weapons and take up the instrument of peace. Grant me patience, a double dose of humility, and a cup running over with grace. Amen.
