The spiritual hymn, Let There Be Peace On Earth, and The Prayer of Saint Francis just seem to me to be appropriate for Memorial Day. So many have sacrificed that I might be free. They have given much, and many have given all. They sacrificed with their lives for me just as Jesus did. I am sure those who died in service will have a place of honor in heaven. Thank you to all who serve today that I may live a life of freedom in the land of the free! The best way I know to thank them is to live a life of peace… to let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on earth
The peace that was meant to be.
With God as our Father
Brothers all are we.
Let me walk with my brother
In perfect harmony.
Let peace begin with me,
Let this be the moment now.
With ev’ry step I take
Let this be my solemn vow;
To take each moment and live
Each moment in peace eternally.
Let there be peace on earth
And let it begin with me.
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.
