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

Today’s Reflection: Lord God,
help me to orient my life toward you.
Help me to serve you rather than wealth.
Help me to prioritize those things that matter to you,
and forget about what the world values.
Help me to follow the path that you prepare for me.
Amen. — Jesuit Prayer site

Today’s Reflection: MORNING PRAYER:
Lord, enlighten my mind with truth;
Inflame my heart with love;
Inspire my will with courage;
Enrich my life with service;
Pardon what I have been;
Sanctify what I am;
