My life might seem insignificant in the vastness of the universe, but each life is essential to the well being of the whole. I demonstrate my compassion with small acts of kindness and generosity. When I reestablish this intention daily, the opportunities to show goodwill appear with regularity.
Agenda:
1. Journal:
How can I work now to create the conditions of peace in my community and world?
How can I become better at feeling and exhibiting goodwill for all?
2. Advent wreath ceremony:
Tonight (and every night this week) we will light two advent candles, and recite two prayers:
"We light the second candle for all the people of the world. May we find unity and peace."
3. Plan activities:
Striving to find unity and peace with all the people of the world is a huge goal. Rather then get depressed about it, though, I plan to do a little something positive each day.
Things to do this week to find unity and peace:
- be peaceful within myself;
- be in harmony with people I interact with (especially those who irritate me);
- work to learn about and appreciate traditions and beliefs of people throughout the world;
- study an issue that is relevant to human rights in the world at this time;
- challenge myself to work to create the conditions of peace- justice, equality, and freedom- in my family and community.
