O God, you search me and you know me.
All my thoughts lie open to your gaze,
When I walk or lie down you are before me:
Ever the maker and keeper of my days.🎼🎼🎼

Peace Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else.
So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

Nov 20 Scripture
Lk 19:41-44 requires careful interpretation. Jesus was not endorsing violence but lamenting Jerusalem's fate during the Roman-Jewish war of 70AD. Jesus came to bring peace but both parties rejected the Messianic reign of God and resorted to violence. War is never the answer.

"You will be hated by all because of my name" (Lk 21:17). The statement can be overstated and perhaps, even used by people who carry out atrocities in Christ's name. We should not forget that many also love us because of Christ. Instead of contentions, may we look for friendships.

Nov 29 Scripture
Whereas Daniel describes creatures, kingdoms, and kings that "oppress the holy ones of God" (Dan 7:15-27), in the gospel, its just the "anxieties of daily life" (Lk 21:34). Often, it's the small things that can get us down. Hence Jesus' caution, "Be vigilant at all times" (36).
