Today’s Reflection: God of gentle judgment, we confess our impatience.
We rush to conclusions, we judge before understanding, we try to do Your work for You.
Forgive us when we fail to trust Your timing.
Teach us the kindness that reflects Your righteousness. – The Church of Scotland, prayer post

Today’s Reflection: Lord, it’s easy to remember to look to you during the storms. I know I will find solace and strength in you. Too often, when the storms have calmed, I lose touch with that closeness. – The Passionists of Holy Cross Province.

Today’s Reflection: Prayer to Care
We Pray:
Care.
A simple act.
A profound action.
It’s the pause we take to listen deeply.
The response we make that embodies compassion.
The intentional choice to prioritize love and let go of judgment.
When we act with care, it enables us
to see the dignity in everyone — so we can foster unity and equality.
To recognize the needs of the earth — so we can bring balance to our environment.
To hold ourselves to a higher standard — so we can lift others as we rise.
God, help us understand your love for us,
So that we know how to bring your kindness to the world.
How to create spaces of healing and understanding.
How to shape nurturing communities.
And give us the open hearts and steady hands we need
to make acting with care a natural part of everything we do. Amen – on Marquette University prayer site

Today’s Reflection: Peace Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
where there is hatred,
let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is discord, union;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O 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. Attributed to Saint Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscans (1181–1226)
