International Dance DayInternational Dance Day 
This is a lovely day to celebrate! Humans seem to have a universal desire to dance. It happens across all societies and it was wonderful in 2019 that we had our own flashmob dance in the Peace Garden to mark this event. Here it is! Here's another flashmob of joy! And here's a wonderful song - I HOPE YOU DANCE:
A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:00 video) Creator God, we thank you for the beauty of dance. Help us to leap with your joy, to stretch with your passion, to balance with your strength as we express our thoughts and emotions. May our dancing always be a spirit-filled, life-giving expression of our humanity.
We pray this in your holy name. AMEN

A PRAYER FOR TODAY (available here as a 1:00 video) Prayer to St. Joseph - Patron Saint of Workers Help us to acknowledge and respect the dignity of all workers. Help us to learn about and to care about those who are not fairly rewarded, not treated justly, who work in unsafe environments.
We pray too for those who do not have the security that comes with work.
Guide us in our own work and in the work of justice we are all called to participate in. Give us strength for the day ahead that we might do the best we can.
We pray this in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN |
