Today’s Reflection: MORNING PRAYER (Help us to see)
Lord of the Morning, help us to see with the same eyes of mercy and compassion that you had when you walked this earth. Show us how to care for all those who are in need. Guide us with your gifts of wisdom, and understanding, and bring us peace.— Bodmin Hermit, Franciscan hermit in Cornwall, England
