Loving God, in the 1500’s, St. John of the Cross said: “Where there is no love, put love, and love will be there.” That’s what Etty Hillesum did in 1943. Kayla Mueller did it in the time leading up to her death last week.
We pray today that each one of us will experience ongoing support, affection, care, and joy from those who love us intimately, so that in our work of building a more just and loving society, we will have the courage and strength to put love where there seems to be only fear, anger, violence, and chaos. May our choice to love deeply enkindle goodness, unity, and beauty in our world. We ask this in Your name.─AMEN.
