Pray compline with the diocese for the next three Mondays (Jan. 26, Feb. 2, Feb. 9) at 7 p.m. led by our clergy and broadcast on our YouTube channel.
We will join together throughout the diocese to pray for our community as our vulnerable neighbors face increased ICE activity.
Let not the beauty of the world be hidden, O God, by the passing clouds of ugliness; and let not the goodness of which we are capable be obscured by the evil of which we are often unconscious instruments. Keep our eyes open to the beauty that is always present, and blind us not to the ugliness which always threatens to spoil it. May we be continually prepared to see the goodness that is in humans, and at the same time be not unmindful of the evil into which we so easily slip. We ask these things in remembrance of him who had the eyes to see both the goodness and the meanness of people. Amen.
From Theodore Parker Ferris
