Today’s Reflection: I SIT IN SILENCE to start my day. I sit in silence to forget me and open to God. I sit in silence to be filled with God’s love. I sit in silence to be healed by God. I sit in silence to be transformed by God. I sit in silence because it teaches me how to live. I sit in silence. — Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection – SILENCE, THEN A BIT MORE:
Go deeper past thought into silence
past silence into stillness
past stillness into the heart.
Let love consume all that is left of you.— Bodmin Hermit, Franciscan hermit living in Cornwall, England.

Today’s Reflection – Prayer for Courage
God of our life, there are days when the burdens we carry chafe our shoulders and weigh us down; when the road seems dreary and endless, the skies grey and threatening; when our lives have no music in them, and our hearts are lonely, our souls have lost their courage.
Flood the path with light, turn our eyes to where the skies are full of promise; tune our hearts to brave music….quicken our spirits that we may be able to encourage the souls of all who journey with us on the road of life, to your honor and glory. — Prayer for Courage by St. Augustine
