Daily Reading for January 31
Peace between victor and vanquished
Peace between old and young
Peace between rich and poor
The peace of Christ above all.
Always keep God’s peace and love among you, and when you have to seek guidance about your affairs, take great care to be of one mind. Live in mutual good-will also with Christ’s other servants. . . .Never think you are superior to other people who share your faith and way of life. —Cuthbert’s last words
Christ be within me
Christ be beside me
Christ in the stranger
Christ in the friend
Christ in my speaking
Christ in my thinking
Christ in my working
Christ at my end.
May you see the face of Christ in everyone you meet. May everyone you meet see the face of Christ in you.
