Monday, December 26

World Day of Prayer for Peace – January 1 – To be true followers of Jesus today also includes embracing his teaching about nonviolence. In 2017, may we dedicate ourselves prayerfully and actively to banishing violence from our hearts, words and deeds, and to becoming nonviolent people and to building nonviolent communities that care for our common home. (Pope Francis)
