The Daily Prayer
MONDAY, October 7, 2019
In 2001, a US-led coalition began bombing Afghanistan in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Origen of Alexandria wrote in the third century, “We will not raise arms against any other nation, we will not practice the art of war, because through Jesus Christ we have become the children of peace.”
God of peace, dawn reminds us that your mercies are new every morning. You have been merciful to us despite our sin. Teach us such mercy. Open our eyes to see the violence we condone with our silences and with our consumption. We give thanks that repentance is the beginning of true conversion. Amen.
