In these days of frequent atrocities, it is easy to despair and believe the lie that we are powerless against the forces of Evil. Recall these words of a saint very familiar with overwhelming acts of violence:
Prayer is not an old woman’s idle amusement. Properly understood and applied, it is the most potent instrument of action.
-Mohandas Gandhi
Abide in the peace of Christ that passes all understanding. Abiding there in and of itself is a powerful antidote to evil. Then speak your fears and requests from this place of peace. Be confident that such prayers have always stormed the gates of Hell and changed war into peace. “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Amen
