Today’s Reflection:
Talk to God about everything.
The little things;
The important things;
The things you’re afraid to say out loud.
One day you’ll realize those brief conversations with God were the most important conversations of your life.
He listens. – Author unknown

Today’s Reflection:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen. – Prayer of St. Francis

Today’s Reflection: My Joy!
There are some souls on earth
Which seek in vain for happiness,
But for me, it’s just the opposite.
Joy is in my heart.
This joy is not ephemeral.
I possess it forever.
Like the springtime rose, It smiles at me every day. — St. Therese of Lisieux, French Carmelite (1873–1897)
