Today’s Reflection: Grant me,
O Lord, my God,
a mind to know You,
a heart to seek You,
wisdom to find You,
conduct pleasing to You,
faithful perseverance in waiting for You,
and a hope of finally embracing You. — St. Thomas Aquinas

Today’s Reflection: Prayer Lord here are my dirty feet
Lord, here are my dirty feet!
Proof of my walking in life
Proof of easy and difficult distances
and of steady or rough roads
Lord, that I may not fear being tired and hurt
Lord, that I may not fear the dirt and the smell
That I may not avoid walking, due to fear of the terrain.
Though sometimes I may trip and wound myself
Remind me, that my humanity is a walk
Not a static fixed pose
Life is movement, and in our essential walk
Sometimes we feel progress
and sometimes we only see dust
But Lord, you are with me,
and for me, no matter what.
I offer you my head and my hands,
Take care of my walk. —Sindy Collazo

Today’s Reflection: Holy Saturday morning prayer — O Lord, On this day, the world was waiting, like a long winter hoping for spring, like a dry land awaiting rain. Still, quiet, in between a world hesitating, silent hope in a dark place. Lord, we give to you the times we have in own lives, where all we can do is wait, when all we hold is hope. We give you those times when all we have is faith in new life, new beginnings and heaven’s call. Be with all those who today wait in that cold, uncertain place. Hold them, keep them safe in your arms, resting in your promise of new life. Amen. — Catholic prayer site
