"But today our very survival depends on our ability to stay awake, to adjust to new ideas, to remain vigilant and to face the challenge of change. The large house in which we live demands that we transform this world-wide neighborhood into a world-wide brotherhood. Together we must learn to live as brothers or together we will be forced to perish as fools. We must work passionately and indefatigably to bridge the gulf between our scientific progress and our moral progress. One of the great problems of mankind is that we suffer from a poverty of the spirit which stands in glaring contrast to our scientific and technological abundance. The richer we have become materially, the poorer we have become morally and spiritually."
~Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Affirmation: I am spiritually rich and morally strong.
Meditation: Dear God,Today, as we celebrate the birth and life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we appreciate and are inspired by the ideas that he taught and the timelessness of his words. While humanity has made progress in learning how to live with and love each other, we have not yet manifest the ideal of universal brotherhood. Help us continue the work toward equality and justice for all. Help us see and relate beyond our apparent differences. May it be on Earth as it is in heaven. Amen
