Morning Offering: 05. 13. 25

Today’s Reflection:  God,
grant me the Serenity
to accept the things I cannot change, 
the Courage
to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom
to know the difference.
—from the Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr

Today’s Reflection: Let me seek, then, the gift of silence, … and solitude,
where everything I touch is turned into prayer:

where the sky is my prayer,
the birds are my prayer,
the wind in the trees is my prayer,
for God is all in all. —  Thomas Merton

Today’s Reflection: MORNING PRAYER –

Lord, as I begin this new day, I ask for your grace and guidance. Help me to stand strong against the discord and turmoil of the world. Grant me the strength to not be swayed by negativity. May my heart be a sanctuary of peace, untouched by the world’s anxieties.—  Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection:  Way, Truth, Life

You are the way, the truth, the life
Without the way there is no going
Without the truth there is no knowing
Without the life there is no growing
Show us the way, that we may go
Teach us the truth, that we may know
Grant us the life, that we may grow
Eternally. — Rev. Theodore J. (Ted) Tracy, SJ

Today’s Reflection:  A Prayer

Please, Lord,

Keep calling me back to You,

By  day or by night,

In joy and in sadness,

During moments 

Of success and moments

Of failure.

Never let me leave you. —  Henri Nouwen
