Today’s Reflection: To be just, it is not enough to refrain from injustice. One must go further and refuse to play its game, substituting love for self-interest as the driving force of society. — Pedro Arrupe SJ

Today’s Reflection: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. —Attributed to St. Francis of Assisi

Today’s Reflection: Be simple, humble, and righteous. Be pure in heart. Be peacemakers. Feed the hungry. Stand with the oppressed. Wipe away the tears of those who mourn. Be kind and merciful. Love and forgive your neighbor. We are called to bring the Beatitudes to life. — The Assisi Project
