Today’s Reflection: Something a little different today:
Prayer
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

Today’s Reflection: Looking behind
I am filled with gratitude
Looking forward
I am filled with vision
Looking upward
I am filled with strength
And looking within
I discover peace. — Apache prayer

Today’s Reflection: A Prayer for Healing
Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to you.
Allow Your healing Hand to heal me.
Touch my soul with Your compassion for others;
touch my heart with Your courage and infinite Love for all;
touch my mind with Your Wisdom,
and may my mouth always proclaim Your praise.
Teach me to reach out to You in all my needs,
and help me to lead others to You by my example.
Most loving Heart of Jesus, bring me health in body and spirit
that I may serve You with all my strength.
Touch gently this life which you have created,
now and forever.
Amen. — Priests and Brothers of the Sacred Heart; Sacred Heart Monastery, Wisconsin

Today’s Reflection: Prayer
Lord,
Give us understanding that we may learn our lessons well.
Give us compassion that we may show your face to those we meet.
Give us generosity that we may share the gifts you have given us.
Give us faith that we may have confidence in ourselves.
Above all give us love that we may bring joy into the lives of those around us. —Excerpted from Prayer of Dedication by Adrian Porter, SJ
