Today’s Reflection: PRAYER – I see his blood upon the rose And in the stars the glory of his eyes, His body gleams amid eternal snows, His tears fall from the skies.
I see his face in every flower; The thunder and the singing of the birds Are but his voice—and carven by his power Rocks are his written words.
All pathways by his feet are worn, His strong heart stirs the ever-beating sea, His crown of thorns is twined with every thorn, His cross is every tree. —Joseph Mary Plunkett

Today’s Reflection: Prayer — Lord, grant me a heart detached from this world, so as to be attached to you. If I am healthy, may my health serve you; if I am sick, may my sickness serve you. If I am wealthy, may my wealth serve you; if I am poor, may my poverty serve you. If I am honored, may my honor serve you; if I am humiliated, may my humility serve you. If I am powerful, may my power serve you; if I am weak, may my weakness serve you. Amen. — Fr.
