Today’s Reflection: Love consists of sharing
what one has
and what one is
with those one loves.
Love ought to show itself in deeds
more than words. —St. Ignatius of Loyola

Today’s Reflection: Once a man was asked, ‘What did you gain by praying to God?’. The man replied, “Nothing, but let me tell you what I lost: Anger, ego, greed, depression, insecurity and fear of death. Sometimes the answer to our prayers is not ‘gaining’, but ‘losing’, which ultimately is the gain.“ — Author unknown

Today’s Reflection: A New Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the people I cannot change,
which is pretty much everyone,
since I’m clearly not you, God.
At least not the last time I checked.
And while you’re at it, God,
please give me the courage
to change what I need to change about myself,
which is frankly a lot, since, once again,
I’m not you, which means I’m not perfect.
It’s better for me to focus on changing myself
than to worry about changing other people,
who, as you’ll no doubt remember me saying,
I can’t change anyway.
Finally, give me the wisdom to just shut up
whenever I think that I’m clearly smarter
than everyone else in the room,
that no one knows what they’re talking about except me,
or that I alone have all the answers.
Basically, God,
grant me the wisdom
to remember that I’m
not you. – Fr. James Martin SJ
