Tidings from Trinity, June 11, 2021

Come stand closer now. Come stand together. The struggle for tomorrow continues. The issues are many and the resources few. We need one another, all of us who s...hare the vision of a free and fair future. We will not attain it alone. It will not be birthed easily or sustained easily. Justice takes work. Hope takes courage. We need one another. We need the strength of our combined wisdom and the passion of our shared commitment. Trusting in the Spirit, reaching out to every culture and every tradition, we will prevail because we will not conquer. We will refuse to conquer, refuse the ancient temptation to power, and in so doing begin a new chapter of hope for every story ever told by those who long for peace. Come stand closer now. See more

Don’t forget to vote!

From Sr. Joan Chittister, O.S.B. LET US PRAY Give us, O God,... leaders whose hearts are large enough to match the breadth of our own souls and give us souls strong enough to follow leaders of vision and wisdom. In seeking a leader, let us seek more than development of ourselves though development we hope for, more than security for our own land though security we need, more than satisfaction for our wants though many things we desire. Give us the hearts to choose the leader who will work with other leaders to bring safety to the whole world. Give us leaders who lead this nation to virtue without seeking to impose our kind of virtue on the virtue of others. Give us a government that provides for the advancement of this country without taking resources from others to achieve it. Give us insight enough ourselves to choose as leaders those who can tell strength from power, growth from greed, leadership from dominancy, and real greatness from the trappings of grandiosity. We trust you, Great God, to open our hearts to learn from those to whom you speak in different tongues and to respect the life and words of those to whom you entrusted the good of other parts of this globe. We beg you, Great God, give us the vision as a people to know where global leadership truly lies to pursue it diligently, to require it to protect human rights for everyone everywhere. We ask these things, Great God, with minds open to your word and hearts that trust in your eternal care. from A Prayer for Leadership (Benetvision), by Joan Chittister
