The twenty sixth day of Lent

True peace... quote from Martin Luther King Jr

Thursday, March 14, Lent, Day 26

Today’s quote echoes the thoughts from Malcolm X yesterday. He said, ‘No freedom, no peace.’

True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice. Martin Luther King Jr

Justice is the quality of being just, impartial, or fair. There are many people who are living in this world and not experiencing justice, be that racially, because of gender, climate or anything else. How can we make a difference?

Let’s pray.

O God of justice, lead us in the ways of peace and justice. Inspire us to stand in the face of tyranny and injustice and oppression, so that every person may receive justice. May we live for each other and care for each other. Amen.
