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
