“I have said for many years that the only real difference between a philosophy and a religion is one or more gods... I am learning more and more-- as I did when studying eastern religions in my twenties-- how powerful prayer can be, and I don't mean because one god answers anyone's prayers. It is the place it puts us in. Focus. Reflection. Vertical communication. Surrender (to the powers that be and those that may or may not be). And so: Hope.” PhilosophyReligionHopePrayerFocusReflectionSurrenderGodsHigher PowerPrayer For Peace Author:Shellen Lubin
“Our hearts are broken with pain at the senseless deaths caused by violence. Families mourn, children live in fear, and some now respond by arming themselves with more guns with greater capacity to end life. Our disconnection and alienation has caused some to turn to guns for protection and safety. More than ever we need love to flood our hearts and heal our brokenness, and turn us away from violence toward peace. There are many things worth living for, a few things worth dying for, and nothing worth killing for.” HealingBroken HeartStop Killing Each OtherPrayer For PeaceStop Violence Author:Kingsley Opuwari Manuel
