Instruments of Peace: Turning Down the Volume ...

Everyone is shouting. Few are healing. This piece is a field guide for Christians who refuse the algorithms of anger and want their tone to preach before their volume. We talk Francis (attributed), Scripture, and the difference between reaction and contemplation. You’ll find a Rule of Three you can practice in ten seconds: breathe before you speak, name the fear before you post, honor the image even when it’s cracked. This is not a call to silence; it’s a call to music—less Plexi, more Martin. If Christ is Lord, mercy sets the meter. Come tune your witness until peace becomes audible. So breathe, bless, and begin again without rage today.

Sacred Pauses

In the rush of daily life, we often miss the sacred hidden in small moments. This Lenten reflection explores the power of ‘sacred pauses’—simple, intentional moments of stillness where God meets us. Slow down, breathe, and rediscover holiness in the ordinary. A call to embrace silence, prayer, and presence.
