Sunday-Ps.133 is a short prayer.Aversion of it is on 241 in our hymnbook. I think it is a fine prayer for grace before meals. Consider writing a version of it with emphasis on the healing power of unity and freshness.
Monday-Most of us prefer easy answers. But we are invited to live in a place of holy tension, depending on God’s grace to show us when tolerance and patience towards others is called for, and when we are being called to noncooperation and resistance in the face of evil.Br. David Vryhof
Tuesday-God’s grace consists precisely in this, that he wants to let himself be won by humanity, that he places himself, so to speak, into human hands. God wants to come to his world, but he wants to come to it through men and women. This is the mystery of our existence, the superhuman chance of humankind.Source: The Way of Man
Wednesday-Jim Forest-If I cannot find the face of Jesus in the face of those whom I regard as enemies, if I cannot find him in the unbeautiful and damaged, if I cannot find him in those who have the “wrong ideas,” if I cannot find him in the poor and the defeated, then how will I find him in bread and wine or in the life after death?
Thursday-"In our arrogance, we presume our enemies to be God's enemies. We presume our victories to be God's victories. But God is not on our side. God does not take sides. God is simply with us, with all of us, even when we are not with one another."~~ Rev. Traci Blackmon
Friday-In Christ we're drawn toward a radical realignment, a radical reorientation. The Spirit of Truth draws us toward greater understanding of the human mind and heart using all the tools available to us.-Br. Mark Brown
Saturday- It is so easy to simply get too busy to grow. It is so easy to commit ourselves to this century’s demand for product and action until the product consumes us and the actions exhaust us, and we can no longer even remember why we set out to do them in the first place.Source: Wisdom Distilled from the Daily
