Today’s Reflection: Prayer Against Depression
O Christ Jesus
When all is darkness,
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength.
Help us to have perfect trust,
In Your protecting love,
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see Your Hand,
Your Purpose, Your Will through all things – Xavier University prayer site

Today’s Reflection: Gardener’s Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity to accept I cannot grow all the plants,
the patience to wait for my seeds to sprout,
and the wisdom to know the best time to sneak zucchinis onto porches. Amen – Unknown

Today’s Reflection: Lord, the world is a noisy and confusing place. In so many ways, the world around me seems to block out your voice. Let me always hear you, Lord. Let me find you even in the midst of the greatest chaos. May I follow always where you lead me. – The Passionists of Holy Cross Province.

Today’s Reflection: You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope. – Thomas Merton

Today’s Reflection: Lord, as I face these trying times, I find my faith often shaken. It seems that when difficulties arise and I should stand most firm in my faith that I am instead most lost and confused about my beliefs. Forgive me for this. Strengthen me during my times of hesitation. Give me the trust and hope that all will unfold according to your plan. – The Passionists of Holy Cross province.

Today’s Reflection: Speak Gently In My Silence
Dear Lord,
Speak gently in my silence.
When the loud outer noises of my
surroundings and the loud inner noises of my
fears keep pulling me away from you, help me
to trust that you are still there even when I am
unable to hear you. Give me ears to listen to
your small, soft voice saying: “Come to me,
you who are overburdened, and I will give you rest ….. for I am gentle and humble of heart.”
Let that loving voice be my guide.
Amen. – Henri Nouwen

Today’s Reflection: HERMIT RULES 23 & 24...
23. God alone suffices. Be open to the Mystery. Authentic silence draws you to rest, like a child, in the Lord Himself.
24. Silence consists, above all, in being quiet so as to be always ready to receive something greater. – Bodmin Hermit
