Sunday


 It is written: "From all your sins before the Lord shall ye be clean." This is our tradition. The sin towards God, the Day of Atonement atones for; but sins toward man, the Day of Atonement cannot atone for till the neighbor has been appeased.


The Babylonian Talmud, Yomah
Judaism

When you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go, first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift.
Matthew 3:23-24
Christianity


Let us be united, let us speak in harmony. Let our minds apprehend alike, common be our prayer. Common be our resolution, alike be our feelings, Unified be our hearts and perfect be our unity.
Rig Veda 10:191, 2-4, Adapted


Therefore the sage is like a square which cuts no one with its angles; like a corner which injures no one with its sharpness. He is straightforward, but allows himself no license; he is bright but does not dazzle,
Tao Te Chin 58

All living creatures should not be slain nor treated with violence nor abused, nor tormented nor cast away. This is the pure unchangeable law.

Sutrakritanga, Adapted

Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly; do not claim to be wiser than you are.

God is Peace. All are united in peace.
