SCRIPTURE
Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are.
(Romans 12:16)
REFLECTION
What does it mean to "live in harmony"? When have you experienced people of different faiths or divergent worldviews living in harmony with one another?
Who are "the lowly" in your community, or in the larger world? Why is it important to "associate with the lowly"?
Where have you seen examples of real wisdom in the response to September 11, and in subsequent events?
ACTION
• Read an article or book or watch a documentary about another culture or faith. Try to learn more-and challenge your own assumptions-about another group of people.
PRAYER
God most high, you lift up the poor and lowly, scatter the plans of the proud, and confound the wisdom of the world. Help us to live in harmony with one another and with your whole creation, joining our voices with the song of saints and angels; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
