Jesus, thank you for Summer. Thank you for light and warmth. Thank you for the sun. Thank you for the gifts of nature and for the annual cycles and seasons. Today, give us that grace again, to see you as the Creator, the One who lifts us up to be with you forever, even now. – Author unknown

Loving God I have knowledge, so will You show me now how to use it wisely and find a way somehow to make the world I live in a little better place, and make life with its problems a little bit easier to face.
Grant me faith and courage and put purpose in my days, and show me how to serve you in effective ways. So my education, my knowledge and my skill may find their true fulfillment as I learn to do your will.
And may I ever be aware in everything I do, that knowledge comes from learning, and wisdom comes from you. Amen – Marquette University prayer site

Today’s Reflection: Dear God, Help us to be bucket fillers in a world that so often drains others, and teach us to see every other person we meet as both a gift and a teacher. – Maria Shriver, I’ve Been Thinking

Lord, remind us that life’s greatest treasures aren’t things, but moments. A shared laugh, a quiet sunrise, a hand held in kindness. Teach us to collect memories, not stuff. To chase wonder, not wealth. May our hearts be full, even when we fall short in other areas. Amen. – Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration
