Today’s Reflection: Morning Prayer

Lord, as we reflect upon

the life of the world,

and the lives of its people,

and as we see both

justice and injustice,

reconciliation and division,

peace and war,

help us to recognize

our own calling

to make a difference for good,

to live out your love, day by day. — Bill Braviner, Anglican Archdeacon, Halifax

Today’s Reflection: Never Give Up Prayer

No matter what is going on, never give up.

Develop the heart.

Too much energy in your country is spent developing the mind instead of the heart.

Be compassionate, not just to your friends, but to everyone.

Work for peace in your heart and in the world.

Work for peace and I say again, never give up.

No matter what is happening, no matter what is going on around you, never give up.— Attributed to His Holiness, the XIV Dalai Lama

Today’s Reflection:  A Prayer for Compassion

O God, I wish from now on

to be the first to become conscious

of all that the world loves, pursues, and suffers;

I want to be the first to seek,

to sympathize, and to suffer;

the first to unfold and sacrifice myself,

to become more widely human

and more nobly of the earth

than any of the world’s servants. — Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, S.J. (1881–1955)
