Ring a Bell for World Peace

Good Evening, God

I was ruminating after my Centering Prayer — pondering Hope. Wondering if Hope was something one could enlarge? My understanding of Hope was meager. Hope was in You and Hope was from You. But that Hope was something I could work with and enlarge? Really?

But I liked the idea. And in musing to myself, I clearly thought, “But I could never hope for World Peace!”

BANG! Into my mind came a CLEAR COMMAND — go find the biggest bell you have in your home and RING IT! And as you do that HOPE and PRAY for World Peace! Do it at noon every day — and Hope and Pray for one minute.

So…..I did it. And I thought, who am I to determine that ANYTHING is too impossible to hope for?

All things are possible to You, God. And so I have set my alarm to go off two minutes before noon. I thought I would feel silly. But, actually, I feel as if I am doing something hopeful. It feels good!
