ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT

     One of our fraternity members (Chris Wacknov) has suggested that this one minute prayer for Peace is when we could all individually commit to praying our St Francis Peace Prayer.  Great idea!  This also fits with the effort towards Ecumenism, John 17:11, 22  "—so that they may be one as We are One."

[It would be] better that our Prayer for Peace be a collective effort. 2 Chronicles 7:14

"If My people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

      In WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace. This had an amazing effect as bombing stopped.

     There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America. If you would like to participate: each evening at 9:00 PM Eastern Time (8:00 PM Central, 7:00 PM Mountain, 6:00 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens and for peace in the world.

     If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along. Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.
