A motorist was driving in the country when he saw some men who had come from an ecumenical meeting: a Baptist Pastor, a Catholic Priest, an Anglican Vicar, and a Jewish Rabbi. They were standing on the shoulder of the road, fishing. Next to them was a sign that read "Turn Around. The End Is Near."

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy.
Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled

This poem was written by a workaholic dad:
I have a son who’s five years old, a boy so very fine.
When I look at him it seems to me that all the world is mine.
But seldom do I ever see my son awake and bright.
I only see him when he sleeps. I’m only home at night.
When I come home so weary

Quiet mounds of earth,
Erected crosses;
So many souls,
So many losses.
This special day
Has been set aside
To honor those
Who, for us, have died.
May we hold dear
Every gain and loss,
And ne’er forget
What’s beneath the cross.
Thank you, dear Lord,
For the brave who gave—
Who now occupy
