Today’s Reflection: Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices. – St. Teresa of Avila.

Today’s Reflection: Bless the poor, bless the immigrant, bless the victim of wage theft, bless those forced to beg on the streets just to feed their families. Bless the homeless and those without shelter, bless victims of abuse and harassment, the unbelieved and unnoticed, bless those caught in the shadows. God bless the marginalized. —  Houston Mennonite Church.
