great Chinese philosopher once taught:
If you would live greatly,
never think to make your words sincere,
your actions resolute,
simply speak and do what is right. (Mencius)
When we listen to that still small voice within us, when we allow ourselves to follow our intuition, we more often than not find that the ability to speak and do what is right flows naturally from within.
We turn to the Creator of us all, and pray that justice and righteousness will be reflected in the way we live, in the words we speak and the deeds we do. We pray that all these things will be ways for us to heal and not to hurt, to comfort and not to afflict, those who we are here to serve.
May this be God’s will--AMEN.
