  Prayer Suggestion | God of life, Every act of violence in our world, in our communities, between myself and others destroys a part of your creation.  Stir in my heart a renewed sense of reverence for all life. Give me the vision to recognize your spirit in every human being, however, they behave towards me. Make possible the impossible by cultivating in me the fertile seed of healing love. May I play my part in breaking the cycle of violence by r ealizing that peace begins with me. In the name of Christ, who is our peace, Amen.
