Today’s Reflection: Speak Gently In My Silence

Dear Lord,

Speak gently in my silence.

When the loud outer noises of my  

surroundings and the loud inner noises of my  

fears keep pulling me away from you, help me  

to trust that you are still there even when I am  

unable to hear you. Give me ears to listen to  

your small, soft voice saying: “Come to me,  

you who are overburdened, and I will give you rest ….. for I am gentle and humble of heart.” 

Let that loving voice be my guide.

Amen. – Henri Nouwen

Today’s Reflection: Prayer for the Summer Solstice

Jesus, thank you for Summer. Thank you for light and warmth. Thank you for the sun. Thank you for the gifts of nature and for the annual cycles and seasons. Today, give us that grace again, to see you as the Creator, the One who lifts us up to be with you forever, even now. – Author unknown

Today’s Reflection: A Graduation Prayer

Loving God
I have knowledge, so will You show me now
how to use it wisely and find a way
somehow
to make the world I live in a little better place,
and make life
with its problems
a little bit easier to face.

Grant me faith and courage
and put purpose in my days,
and show me how to serve you
in effective ways.
So my education, my knowledge and my skill
may find their true fulfillment
as I learn to do your will.

And may I ever be aware in everything I do,
that knowledge comes from learning,
and wisdom comes from you. Amen –  Marquette University prayer site
