Today’s Reflection: MORNING PRAYER

Jesus, the Christ, you see us

sometimes as strangers on the earth,

taken aback by the violence,

by the harshness of oppositions.

And you come to send out a gentle breeze

on the dry land of our doubts,

and so prepare us to be bearers of peace and reconciliation. –  Bodmin Hermit, a Franciscan hermit and retired hospice chaplain.

Today’s Reflection: Give us hearts

of forgiveness and peace,

Lord Jesus,

that we may open ourselves

to relationship and reconciliation,

rather than distrust and division,

seeing each other

as the neighbours we are,

one family in your love,

bearers of your image,

your grace,

your love. – Bill Braviner, Anglican Archbishop of Halifax, U.K

Today’s Reflection: God of justice and mercy, 

guide our hearts

so our lives may reflect you. 

Heal what is broken within us, 

that we may become instruments of reconciliation 

in a world that needs your love. 

Amen. –  CAFOD prayer site

Today’s Reflection: Morning Prayer

Gracious God,
Thank you for the gift of today. Refresh me. Invite me to discover your presence
In each person that I meet
And every event that I encounter.
Teach me when to speak and when to listen
When to ponder and when to share.
In moments of challenge and decision
Attune my heart to the whisperings of your Wisdom.
As I undertake ordinary and unnoticed tasks,
Gift me with simple joy.
When my day goes well, may I rejoice.
When it grows difficult, surprise me with
New possibilities.
When life is overwhelming, call me to
Sabbath moments
To restore your Peace and Harmony.
May my living today reveal your Goodness. – Pat Bergen, C.S.J.

Today’s Reflection: I Greet The Morning

I greet the morning.

Whether awake or sleepy.

Refreshed or restless.

Hopeful or sullen.


I greet the morning.

The sunrise.

The fresh air.

The opportunity for a new beginning.


I greet the morning and offer all that will be to you my loving God.

“For all that has been, I say “thanks”.

And all that will be, I say ”yes”.” – Joe Shadle with end quote by Dag Hammarskjöld

I will never fear,

For you are ever with me,

And you will never leave me,

To face my perils alone. – Thomas Merton
