Today’s Reflection: Morning Prayer

In a world which often lauds

power rather than peace,

and greed rather than generosity,

you call us, Lord, to stand

not with oppressors and bullies,

but with those who face injustice.

Strengthen our resolve,

as people of your kingdom,

to pursue the peace you offer.— Bill Braviner, Anglican Archdeacon of Halifax (UK)

Today’s Reflection: Push My Buttons Prayer

Lord, it’s likely that sometime today
someone will push my buttons
challenge my good will
misread my intentions
tick me off
try my patience
rattle my cage
judge me in haste
test my kindness
or do all of the above…

Give me the grace I’ll need at such times
to respond with patience
to trust and accept
to listen carefully
to reach out in peace
to be fair and just
to anticipate goodness
in all my words and deeds…

I know this is a lot to ask, Lord,
but I need your help
to do for others
as I’d have them do for me. Amen. — Rev. Austin Fleming

Today’s Reflection: God, if we could only know how patient you’ve been with us, we’d be a little more understanding with others. Give us a sense of your serenity so we might share it with someone else today. Amen. — Joe Ertle, SJ

Today’s Reflection: There is no wrong way to pray.

Do it in church.

Do it at home.

Do it kneeling.

Or standing.

Do it out loud.

Or in silence.

Do it alone.

Do it with others.

Do it however way you want.

Just do it. — Reader’s referral
