Give peace, O Lord, in our days, for there is no one else
who fights for us except You, our God.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.  May those who love you prosper.
Give peace, O Lord, in our days...
May there be peace within your strength and security within your towers.
Give peace, O Lord, in our days...
For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will speak of peace concerning you.
Give peace, O Lord, in our days...

Matthew 13:24-30
Jesus proposed another parable to the crowds, saying:
"The kingdom of heaven may be likened to a man
who sowed good seed in his field. 
While everyone was asleep his enemy came
and sowed weeds all through the wheat, and then went off. 
When the crop grew and bore fruit, the weeds appeared as well. 
The slaves of the householder came to him and said,
'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? 
Where have the weeds come from?'
He answered, 'An enemy has done this.'
His slaves said to him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'
He replied, 'No, if you pull up the weeds
you might uproot the wheat along with them. 
Let them grow together until harvest;
then at harvest time I will say to the harvesters,
"First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning;
but gather the wheat into my barn."'"

(A meditation based on a reading from the Gospel of Luke 10:38-42)
Today's meditation examines the recounting of Jesus' visit to the home of Martha and Mary in the town of Bethany.  We will recognize the ways we are like Martha in our daily lives, and how we can learn to be more like Mary.
