Christ Has Brought Peace

Saturday’s Reflection

WALLS DO NOT DIVIDE
God’s household.
Christ has broken down the walls,
Christ has brought peace.
— Mary Taylor,
Christian, Northern Ireland

God of peace, may I find sanctuary in you, so that I do not need to place walls between me and others. Show me a new vision of your heavenly City of Peace where there are no walls to separate us. Amen.

- Mary Taylor
