Awaken Hope in Me

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capital. Attorney General Merrick Garland said this country “will never forget the sacrifice of the law enforcement officers who defended the members of Congress that day. And we will never forget the five officers who responded selflessly and who lost their lives.”
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”
​– Fred Rogers (Mr. Rogers)
Prayer:  “Awaken hope in me. When the planet's war, terrorism, and violence envelop me with its pain, awaken hope in me. When the best in me feels beaten down by the worst in someone else, awaken hope in me. When the secret of the soul's ongoing journey takes me into darkness, awaken hope in me. Amen.”
– Joyce Rupp
