LIVESIMPLY MESSAGE 12.4.26
We aim to live more simply, sustainably and in solidarity with others
The Risen Jesus brings peace to his frightened friends: “Peace be with you.” In a world marked by uncertainty and conflict, we are called — like Saint Francis — to be instruments of peace. Spend a few quiet minutes outdoors, perhaps in Calderstones Park, praying for peace in our world and in our own community. Laudato Si’ reminds us that “everything is connected.” Peace with one another and care for creation go hand in hand.
Simple action for everyone:
Pause on a bench or doorstep and name one place in the world that needs peace. Then take one small step this week — a kind message, reconciliation, or reaching out to someone who may feel alone.
CAFOD Prayer:
God of peace, help us to be instruments of your healing.
