Today’s scripture readings offer a vision of some of what
makes for peaceful living in society. Having families and
planting gardens are signs of stability. Seeking the welfare of
the city, and so on. But these are no easy answers, and today’s
commemoration should sharpen our sensitivity to the needs
of all, the common good, and particularly to the cries of those
who have most often suffered oppression.

• Pray that in celebrating our national identity our
  eyes are opened ever wider to see all who have
  suffered, that we work together for the common
  good of all.
• Give thanks for the work and mission of Episcopal
  Relief and Development, based in the USA.
