Today, on the 45th anniversary of the murder of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., let us remember and take to heart his enduring teachings, let his life and his example continue to inspire us to work together for the betterment of all humanity. Rev. King taught us that “darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
May it be Your will O God, that we find within ourselves faith and hope to sustain and nurture a desire to make the world a better place, a world where we see each other as brothers and sisters, all of us, children of God. May our lives be as beacons of light, banishing the darkness, and shining with goodness and love.
May this be God’s will. Amen.
