Today’s Reflection: Pray to have eyes that see the best in people, a heart that forgives the worst, a mind that forgets the bad and a soul that never loses faith in God. — Ally Donaldson

Today’s Reflection: Lord help me to live simply,
To give my life and all I am
Into your hands.
Help me to unclutter my closet,
For I have too much stuff that takes me away
From your presence.
Help me to unclutter my calendar,
For I am often too busy to focus my attention on you.
Help me to unclutter my mind
For I have too many unguided thoughts
That distract me from
Your instructions.— Christine Sine

Today’s Reflection: All of us will have to render an account of our lives when we die. God will not be interested in who or what we were. No, only in this: how did we live? That will be the sole matter for judgment. A company director won’t be able to pull rank on a waiter, and a fisherman’s wife will be on a par with a millionaire’s wife. Ships’ officers will receive no preference over ships’ cooks. All will be judged by exactly the same measure: did we use our talents well and for his glory? —Takashi Nagai, quoted in the book, A Song for Nagasaki

Today’s Reflection: Prayer
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

Today’s Reflection: once
i saw my grandmother hold out
her hand cupping a small offering
of seed to one of the wild sparrows
that frequented the bird bath she
filled with fresh water every day
she stood still
maybe stopped breathing
while the sparrow looked
at her, then the seed
then back as if he was
judging her character
he jumped into her hand
began to eat
she smiled
a woman holding
a small god
—”why i feed the birds” by Richard Vargas
