Today’s Reflection: Silence Prayer

Still the mind.

Inhale the peace.

Let go of worries.

Exhale stress.

Notice the breath.

Connect to all.

Embrace the calm.— Unknown

Today’s Reflection: Responding to a request – My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. —Thomas Merton

Today’s Reflection: Peace is not something you must hope for in the future. Rather, it is a deepening of the present, and unless you look for it in the present you will never find it. —  Thomas Merton

Today’s Reflection: Once a man was asked, “What did you gain by regularly 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
