:Today’s Reflection: World Peace Prayer

Lead me from death to life,

from falsehood to truth;

lead me from despair to hope,

from fear to trust;

lead me from hate to love,

from war to peace.

Let peace fill our hearts, our world, our universe. – Marty Haugen

Today’s Reflection:

What Jesus never said:

“Feed the hungry only if they have papers.”

“Clothe the naked only if they’re from your country.”

“Welcome the stranger only if there’s zero risk.”

“Help the poor only if it’s convenient.”

“Love your neighbour only if they look like you.” – James Martin, SJ

Today’s Reflection: If it is peace you want, seek to change yourself, not others. It is easier to protect your feet with slippers, than to carpet the whole of the earth. – Anthony De Mello, SJ

Today’s Reflection: The planet doesn’t need more “successful” people. The planet desperately needs more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers of all kind. And more kindness. – Author unknown

Today’s Reflection: MORNING PRAYER

I arise with the light of morning, called to journey where I may, here to witness to the birthing, of this new and wondrous day; I arise and face the sunrise, with the wind upon my face; Know God’s breath divine within me, grounded in this sacred place.  –  Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection:

Can you say at close of day

Before you meet the night,

Of all the troubles in the world

You helped to set one right.

That just one heart was happier

Because your smile was true,

One wrinkle in the folds  of life

Was smoothed, because of you –   from Dimming of the Day, by Richard Thompson
