Today’s Reflection: Christ,
Coming closer to you
is saying yes to a stretch
Of who I think I can love
with this clumsy heart
Of who I think I can understand
with this limited mind
Of who I think I could befriend
with this small imagination
You stretch me inside
to push me outside
on mission –
To love and listen
To grow my world with your love.
Okay, but gently please, Amen. —Fr. Garrett Gundlach SJ

Today’s Reflection: Lord Jesus,
You have run the race before us and conquered the cross with joy.
When we grow weary, strengthen our steps.
When we feel discouraged, lift our eyes to you.
Surround us with your great cloud of witnesses,
that we may run with endurance and faith.
Let us not fear the struggles of the journey,
but press on, knowing that you are our prize,
our victory, and our guide. Amen. —Benjamin Rogers, SJ
