Today’s Reflection: I will take the time to experience you in silence, Lord. Help me to be quiet in your presence, that I may learn from you and deepen my experience of wholeness.—from Focus Your Day

Today’s Reflection: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen. — Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi

Today’s Reflection: Litany of Peace
One: God, so many people are in pain.
All: Teach us the way to peace.
One: When people around us don’t agree and think differently,
All: Teach us to listen and try to understand.
One: When we see people getting hurt,
All: Teach us to speak up.
One: When we see people treated poorly because of their skin color, or language, or religious belief,
All: Teach us to be an example of love and acceptance.
One: When we see war and conflict,
All: Teach us how to make a difference and seek peace.
One: When we see pain,
All: Teach us to bring healing,
One: When we feel confused and afraid,
All: Remind us to talk to our friends, our family and to you.
One: In our lives, our neighborhoods and the world,
All: Teach us to pray and teach us the way of peace.

Today’s Reflection: Lord, you are my Master Gardener.
Water my being with your love and your grace
And cultivate patience within me when I expect rapid growth.
Send me rays of Son-light so that I may flourish
And produce much good fruit.
Prune away my desire for perfection
And shape me into the kind of good tree you want me to be.
May I be grateful for the unique gifts you have given me
and share them with those I meet today. —Diane Amento Owens
