Today’s Reflection: Morning Prayer
In my prayer, Lord, in the morning,
I set aside all my cares, all worries, all fear.
I clear my mind and heart
Of worldly desires,
Seeking instead to give the day
Entirely to You;
In my work, in my friendships,
In my thoughts and desires. Amen. – St. Vincent de Paul Society USA

Today’s Reflection: If I can stop
One heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain
Or help one fainting robin
Onto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain. – Emily Dickinson

Today’s Reflection: Trust In God
Let nothing disturb you,
nothing frighten you,
all things are passing.
God never changes.
Patience always conquers.
Whoever has God lacks nothing,
For God alone suffices. – St. Teresa of Avila

Today’s Reflection: Fill up our faith and joy
in your forgiveness, Lord Jesus;
for however hard we try
to keep your way,
we will stumble
and we will wander,
yet you restore us
and reset us on your path.
Give us forgiving hearts
when others fail us,
that we may offer
your hope to all. – Bill Braviner, Anglican Archdeacon of Halifax, U.K., theologian

Today’s Reflection: Those experiencing homelessness face extreme vulnerability during heat emergencies, often with limited access to shelter, water, or medical care. This prayer seeks God’s special protection for our most exposed neighbors.:
Lord, You know every person sleeping rough tonight in this crushing heat. You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their distress (Isaiah 25:4,NIV). Lead them to cooling centres and sources of cold water. Send advocates and caregivers to check on them. Provide the resources and housing they need. In Jesus’ name, Amen. – from 15 Prayers for Those Affected by Extreme Heat
