The once-a-week World Peace Prayer hour that launched at Trinity Cathedral in Easton this week will expand to six days a week starting Feb. 28.
Under the expanded program, Trinity will open its sanctuary to the public from 3 to 4 p.m. every day except Sunday. Its clergy invites people of all denominations and faiths to stop by, light a candle and sit in silent prayer on behalf of world peace.
“The instrument of peace lies in the awareness of the divine love that dwells in the heart of every human being on the planet,” said the Rev. Sandra Casey-Martus, Trinity’s assistant dean. “There is no stronger force in the universe.”
The shared intention of the silent group prayer, according to Casey-Martus, is to establish world peace by awakening the power of divine love that is incarnate in each person’s own heart. “To realize this power requires a commitment to going within in silence and stillness through prayer.”
“So please come and join us for however long you can, even if only 10 minutes,” she added. “We will be open from 3 to 4 every day Monday through Saturday.”
