Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy. (Proverbs 12:20)

Let us pray: Most Blessed Jesus, the difficult situation in Marawi, Philippines continue to inflict pain and sorrow to my fellowmen. Some soldiers who have bravely fought to end terrorism ended up sacrificing their own lives while some continue to risk just to catch the evil doers. May all those whose lives were affected by injustices and tragedy find hope and peace in you. Touch their heart Lord and give them hope and courage. Amen.
