SPEAK THE TRUTH IN A MILLION VOICES!
Next Saturday, September 21st, we commemorate the ‘International Day of Peace’.
How often do we notice the violence of silence? St Catherine of Sienna (14th century) called on us to ‘Speak the truth in a million voices. It is silence that kills’.
A Prayer for Peace
We pray for the power to be gentle;
the strength to be forgiving;
the patience to be understanding;
and the endurance to accept the consequences
of holding on to what we believe to be right.
Help us to devote our life, thoughts and energy
to the task of making peace,
praying always for the inspiration and the power
to fulfil the destiny for which we and all men and women were created.
