Morning Offering: 10. 05. 26

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)
