Pause+Pray

Consider for a moment the many hands that made the plate of food in front of you possible.

We all have been made in the image of a creative God, and we mirror that divine creativity in millions of ways. Let’s pray today to find creative expressions to nourish our souls.

Forgiving others is hard--maybe it even feels impossible. But through God all things are possible.

The mercy of God is unending and yet sometimes that is hard for us to accept. Pope Francis once said, “God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy.”

There is no shortage of bad news at our fingertips: televisions, radios, smartphones, and computers are delivery methods that feed our collective anxieties. Let’s turn them off and focus on the Good News instead.
