We encourage you to read the entire story found in the Gospel of Matthew 27:1-31, and think about these questions:

In what ways does fear poison our relationships at home and at work as well as in the larger world?
What one thing would you ask God to change about your life or the world?
How can you help in making that change happen?

Prayer:  Use us, Lord God, as instruments of peace in world too often broken by violence and a thirst for power. Amen.
