Today’s Reflection: Lord,
When we stumble and fall, lift us up.
When nothing seems sure, give us trust.
When we lose our way, be our guide. – Author unknown

Today’s Reflection: Lord, make us instruments of your peace.
Help us to recognize the evil latent in a communication that does not build communion.
Help us to remove the venom from our judgements.
Help us to speak about others as our brothers and sisters.
You are faithful and trustworthy; may our words be seeds of goodness for the world:
where there is shouting, let us practice listening;
where there is confusion, let us inspire harmony;
where there is ambiguity, let us bring clarity;
where there is exclusion, let us offer solidarity;
where there is sensationalism, let us use sobriety;
where there is superficiality, let us raise real questions;
where there is prejudice, let us awaken trust;
where there is hostility, let us bring respect;
where there is falsehood, let us bring truth.
Amen. ~ Pope Francis

Today’s Reflection: I have come to think that care of the soul requires a high degree of resistance to the culture around us, simply because that culture is dedicated to values that have no concern for the soul. – Thomas Merton.

Today’s Reflection: It became obvious to me that nature has her own language. She speaks through the animals, the trees, and the cool summer breeze. She whispers, ‘Embrace me,’ and I do. – Red Deer Runs In Darkness
