by Donna Quesada: We are all feeling the political tension and the division in the world right now.

One of the things I have learned over and over again in my spiritual journey, is that the solution has to begin with us, as individuals.

No matter which tradition I am studying, the point is always the same… that the flame of anger within us has to be quelled before we have any winning chance at all, of acquiring peace on a larger scale.

This prayerful meditation is from my latest collection of prayers, called NEW PRAYERS TO MARY (https://www.amazon.com/NEW-PRAYERS-MARY-Thierry-Schollhammer/dp/B0D3FHS7D7?dplnkId=dc1bc94b-bbc9-4836-9701-18e2cf0b6e0a&nodl=1), featuring musical accompaniment from my partner, Thierry. I directed these prayers to Mary as a way of remembering my Italian grandmother, who had beautiful images of Mary around the house, and who showed me how to pray when I was a girl. I hope you enjoy it!
