“ JOURNEY WITH SPIRIT”
- Joyce (JOY) Be Lynda Russaw
Heavenly Father, as we move into the month of March, not knowing the known and unknown challenges we will face. Grant us strength and courage. Help us rely on your mighty power and find our refuge in you. May we be steadfast in our faith, knowing that you are our rock and our fortress.
Lord, as we embark on this year, we lift up to you, our loved ones, our communities, and the world. May your peace reign in our hearts and in the hearts of all people. Bring healing where there is brokenness and reconciliation where there is division.
We ask your presence in every situation and into every space.
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, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
—Prayer Attributed to St. Francis of Assisi
Guardian Angel Prayer
Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
To whom God's love
commits me here,
Ever this day,
be at my side,
To light and guard,
Rule and guide.
Amen.
Welcome March 2026.
As we move through the third month of the year, many of you are trying to adjust to this period of uncertainty. We begin each new year filled with hope and anticipation. We examine our journey from last year and start to think of our legacy. "What have I done to make a difference?" "Have I done my part to improve the conditions in this world?"
Big or small_ you can make a difference. "Give me a place to stand," said Archimedes, "and I will move the world." These men moved the world, and so can we all. Few will have the greatness to bend history, but each of us can work to change a small portion of the events, and then the total -- all of these acts -- will be written in the history of this generation., "and I will move the world." These men moved the world, and so can we.
Few will have the greatness to bend history, but each of us can work to change a small portion of the events, and then the total -- all of these acts -- will be written in the history of this generation.
