World Day of Prayer

"I was a stranger and you welcomed me." ~ Matthew 25:35

Today is the World Day of Prayer (WDP) and this was the slogan for it. When was the last time you welcomed a stranger or did something that was lovely for someone that you had never met? I have been welcomed so many times in my life. Here I am with a Ugandan priest who made me feel very much at home when I was far away from local loved ones.

WDP is a worldwide movement of Christian women comprised of many traditions who come together to pray each year on the first Friday of March. This year, the event focused on human trafficking, an issue near to my heart. Tonight as I prayed in front of the candles and icon at Taize prayer, I was drawn into a wider circle of caring and love. Welcome someone soon who needs your love.

Peace,
