God of all people and every place, teach us the healing behavior of your peace and hope that we might look on our broken world and still glimpse the beauty of possibility. That we might behold nations torn by terror, hunger and fear and still discern the shalom you imagine for us. Make us brave enough to believe that another world is not only possible but on Her way. Gather the nations and let healing begin with us. In the strong name of Jesus, Amen.

The universal divine is bigger than you and doesn’t belong to you,
so be open to how God’s love shows up in others—
it might blow your mind, but it will widen your heart.

May you trust that God’s grace is sufficient for this day, just as manna was given fresh each morning. And may you choose to spend your energy and presence now, knowing that the deepest act of faith is found in actively living and being grateful for the gift of the present.

I recently had someone ask me why we don’t make a bigger deal out of Ordinary Time—that green-colored section of the liturgical calendar meant to signify growth, being faithful disciples, and the ongoing regular life of the church. What a great question! After all, the ordinary times of our lives outnumber the special extraordinary ones. And if every day were a holiday, then they’d cease to be special. The regular and normal every-day nature of our lives might not feel like a big deal. But they are. For even on these seemingly ordinary mundane days on the calendar, we are beloved children of God. What a blessing that is—everyday.

Recently, I have found a tremendous amount of comfort in the book of Ecclesiastes. I have found thoroughly meaningful Qoheleth, the Gatherer, or “The Teacher,” and their insistence that everything is vanity. This word “vanity” or “emptiness” is something we all feel from time to time. I think it’s profoundly human to wonder if what we’re doing has (or if what we did had) any meaning at all. It’s profoundly human to wonder if there’s a point to anything. I led a Bible study on this book in 2025 and the group tried over and over again to shine some positivity into Ecclesiastes. We’re somewhat trained that way, aren’t we? Find the bright spot. Seek out the silver lining.

Peace, deep peace, sounding from the depths of the earth.

Bless the caregivers who rise early and rest late, who give more than they ask for, who carry the unseen and too often unappreciated labor of tending.

Lord Jesus guide us to remain centered and focused at all times.

Señor Jesús, guíanos para permanecer en el centro y enfoque en todo tiempo.
