Today’s Reflection:  Lord,
Give us understanding that we may learn our lessons well.
Give us compassion that we may show your face to those we meet.
Give us generosity that we may share the gifts you have given us.
Give us faith that we may have confidence in ourselves.
Above all give us love that we may bring joy into the lives of those around us. —Excerpted from Prayer of Dedication by Adrian Porter, SJ

 Today’s Reflection:  Your Ways 

I’m in awe of your ways, oh Lord
In me, You love and value what I don’t.
You gladly use what I want to discard.
If I see a dead end, You show me a path out.

If I’m blind, You make me listen.
If I’m deaf, You show me the truth.
When I rest, You visit my thoughts.

You lift me up when I’m humble and
tame me when I’m proud.
You frustrate my plans,
when I’m controlling
and help me advance
when I give You my trust.

You show me that love is the way
Because I was wounded,
I could help others heal
Because I was broken,
I could help others to mend.

Every time I feared to trust You
I was faced with your unrelenting love
You left me without arguments and excuses
and what was left was nothing more
but awe of your ways, oh Lord. Amen — Sindy Collazo
