A group of Christian women thought it would be a good thing to have a yearly day when everyone prays. March 1 became the World Day of Prayer. It has grown to involve 170 countries and regions, and it embraces people of all backgrounds, religions, cultures, and races. I’m sure the organizers wouldn’t mind if atheists didn’t pray but sent out good feelings to the world at large. It’s that kind of movement.
If you’re inclined to join in, this year’s theme is “I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” If nothing else, show kindness to an immigrant today.
Why did I title this with “Beware”? Because I believe that a world full of people praying and sending out good vibes may just carry the resultant feeling onward, effecting changes in this weary world of ours. Those who cherish what they get out of injustices toward others might not like the new world being formed by this movement.
