Today’s Reflection: WATCH WAIT & WONDER:
I have found that the ability to discover inner quietness leads to a sharpening of my appreciation of beauty in birds, animals, trees and flowers but especially of far reaching views where one can stand and stare. – Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection: God, teach me to show mercy as you have shown mercy to me. Soften my heart to forgive, my hands to help, and my words to heal. May Your love guide me to bring kindness and understanding to all I meet. – Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration

Today’s Reflection: TRANQUILITY
The breeze that gently blows,
The calm that stills the soul,
The peace that nature knows,
These make my spirit whole. – William Wordsworth

The ones who make our lives easier every day. – Mindful Christianity

Today’s Reflection: Before Us
We lift our gazes not
To what stands between us,
But what stands before us.
We close the divide,
Because we know to put
Our future first, we must first
Put our differences aside – Poem by Amanda Gorman

Today’s Reflection: For Courage To Do Justice
O Lord, open my eyes that I may see the needs of others
Open my ears that I may hear their cries;
Open my heart so that they need not be without succor;
Let me not be afraid to defend the weak because of the anger of the strong,
Nor afraid to defend the poor because of the anger of the rich.
Show me where love and hope and faith are needed,
And use me to bring them to those places.
And so open my eyes and my ears
That I may this coming day be able to do some work of peace for thee. – Alan Paton, South Africa, United Methodist Hymnal #456

Today’s Reflection: Prayer to St. Francis
You who, unarmed, crossed the lines of war and misunderstanding, give us the courage to build bridges where the world raises up boundaries.
In this time afflicted by conflict and division, intercede for us so that we may become peacemakers: unarmed and disarming witnesses of the peace that comes from Christ. Amen. – Author unknown.
