World Peace

World Peace
 
I hold a thought of peace for Earth’s inhabitants.
In December of 1972, the Apollo 17 crew took an epic picture of the earth they titled “The Blue Marble.” That photo is a glimpse into how fragile our planet is and how interconnected we are as human beings—a visual reminder of the Breton prayer, “Thy sea, O God, so great, my boat so small.”
I hold this picture in my mind when I pray for world peace. I envision all people working together in love. This is my planet, our planet, and each of us inhabits this home together.
Today I remind myself of my sacred responsibility in helping to care for the world and to work with others in advocating for peace. I see all people enjoying the beauty of this planet and living together in peace and harmony. I hold a thought of peace for Earth’s inhabitants.
The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it.—Psalm 24:1
