Do not allow hatred to replace love, despair to replace hope, fear to replace trust, aggression to replace gentler ways and isolation to replace kindness in this most tumultuous of times. Jesus sacrificed his life that we may live. Accept him into your heart and love one another as he has loved us. Believe in Jesus and realize an intimate unity of Jesus, God and the holy spirit. We are not alone and Jesus wraps his arms around us. Walk the road of life with all the hills and valleys with a clear vision of love, the truth and the light, all to the glory of God. Amen.

Based on the Reading for the week: John 14:15-21
