Today’s Reflection: Lord, teach us to till the earth without wounding it, to build with hands that remember they are borrowed from the soil. Grant us the wisdom to advance only as far as reverence allows, that our work may serve creation, not consume it. Keep us rooted, even as we reach forward. Amen.– Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.

Today’s Reflection: Lord, I am longing to love as you do—purely and unconditionally. You asked your followers to love our neighbors as you have loved us. Yet, so often I find myself judging others, holding grudges and withholding love. Help me to open my heart to others. Let me always see in others what you see. – The Passionists of Holy Cross Province
