Marian Meditation of the Day:

Verse

Peace I bequeath to you; my peace I grant to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be fearful.

-- John 14:27




Reflection

Queen of Peace, it is through your Immaculate Heart that the God of peace has been given to the world.

Let this sweet peace reign in the Church and in our souls.

-- St. John Eudes

Prayer

O Mary, you are the Queen of Peace. Bring us to my heart, so that I may work for peace in my family, in my Church, and in my community, and in the world.

Amen.

Today's Meditation:

To my mind, democracy is more compassionate, more harmonious, more friendly than any other system. It respects others' rights and considers others equally as human brothers and sisters. Although you might disagree with them, you have to respect their wishes.

-His Holiness the Dalai Lama
