Today’s Reflection:
Jesus, our Teacher,
Sometimes your lessons
About Loving
Surprise us.
Teach us, anyway,
To love
As you Love.—Laura Gilmartin H.

Today’s Reflection: Prayer
God,
Help me to trust that today, you will reveal your care, compassion, and concern for me in some spectacular way: through the people around me, a “little victory,” a surprising sense of peace. And maybe more importantly, help me to pay attention throughout the day so as to notice you in that very moment – to realize that you long to be with me through thick and thin. Amen. —Joe Ertle, SJ

We cannot merely pray to you, O God, to end war;
For we know that You have made the world in a way
That man must find his own path to peace.
Within himself and with his neighbor.
We cannot merely pray to You, O God, to end starvation;
For You have already given us the resources
With which to feed the entire world,
If we would only use them wisely.
We cannot merely pray to You, O God, to root out prejudice;
For You have already given us eyes
With which to see the good in all men,
If we would only use them rightly.
We cannot merely pray to You, O God, to end despair,
For You have already given us the power
To clear away slums and to give hope,
If we would only use our power justly.
We cannot merely pray to You, O God, to end disease;
For You have already given us great minds
With which to search out cures and healing,
If we would only use them constructively.
Therefore we pray to You instead, O God,
For strength, determination and will power,
To do instead of just pray,
To become instead of merely to wish. — Rabbi Jack Reimer

Today’s Reflection: Lord, grant me the humility to allow your light to shine through the cracks in my life.
Shine through the broken places in our families, in our communities, and in our world,
so that all may be healed.
In the name of Jesus, the true light of the world. Amen. —Jackie Schulte

Today’s Reflection: May the whisper of the Father be the one that wakens you;
The open hand of the Son be the one that raises you;
The prompting of the Spirit be the one that sends you
this morning and all mornings,
And leads you safely home. — Unknown

Today’s Reflection: Sometimes words fail me. They seem so clumsy, so inadequate, too weak to get beyond my living room let alone make it through heaven’s doors. — Author unknown

Today’s Reflection: Prayer
Jesus,
Teach me to love everyone
Like you did.
When I struggle,
I ask for the courage
To pause,
To listen,
To feel,
To re-think,
And to change
Again and again.
Amen. —Katie Davis-Crowder
