Morning Offering: 07. 19. 20

Today’s Reflection: Remembering the Rosary as a baba’s favourite prayer – Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. – Our Father, part of the Rosary.

Today’s Reflection: Jesus, no matter how worried I become about the daily matters of life, help me to remember the lilies. Keep me mindful that if I trust in your Divine Mercy, you will never neglect my needs. And if my prayers are not immediately answered, do not allow me to succumb to despair. Let each new blooming rose be a sign that if I remain faithful all will be revealed in time. Amen. – from God in the Garden.
