Dear Family of Love and Prayer Pilgrims!
I want to welcome you all to We All Matter Monday ! Yes Dear Ones! We have needed to make a change for the better on making everyone feel and know that they are included. It is still you Matter Monday but Instead of making everyday about ourselves and especially on Mondays where we need to be together now more than ever. Mondays should be a time where we set the tone an be brought together as one as we were in our worship settings yesterday. So that is why we are going to carry our light love and humanship (Fellowship) together into the week together. That doesn't mean we march lock step it means that we have each other's backs and are the holy listeners and warm shoulders and soft places in which to fall. I encourage us to take this time in our lives not to hold grudges carry hate in our hearts and find it easier to be divided than united. We are called by God to live together not as a divided family but a united one. So dear ones that is my prayer for us that we may be united in CALM (Compassion, Acceptance, Love, and Mercy).
Instead of the Be Stills here is our quieting phrase:
May we all be one!
May we all be.
We come together this night as one family in humanity and God and Love. We light our candles together so that we may pray and be united in hope, joy love, and peace. We pray together that this world may learn from us that to love one another is the key to having peace prevail upon earth.
We pray this night for an end to division, hatred, racism, bigotry, and terror. We pray for our family members in Burundi and Central America. We pray for our family members who are the least of these who are homeless, hungry, ill -clad and who feel invisible. We pray for the acutely and chronically ill and that they may find a release from pain and suffering. We pray together as one. We pray that we may be CALM (compassionate, accepting loving, and merciful ) even when the week's stresses are just beginning. We pray that we may be everyone's soft places in which to fall when they are needed. We pray together as one and light our candles as the united family of God and Love this night and always.
Now let us pray for peace and unity among all people and nations!
