Rejoice and Be Glad 6
28 May 2018
Today’s opening prayer proclaims peace:
Grant us, O Lord, we pray,
that the course of our world
may be directed by your peaceful rule.
Pope Francis in his teaching on holiness proclaims:
Christians too can be caught up in networks of verbal violence through the internet in the various forms of digital communication.
And again:
The saints do not waste energy complaining about the failings of others; they hold their tongue before the faults of their brothers and sisters, and avoid verbal violence that demeans and mistreats others.
Verbal violence. Let us eradicate it!
Amen.
