Morning Offering: 03. 01. 24

Today’s Reflection:  Creator, open our hearts to peace and healing between all people.

Creator, open our hearts to provide and protect for all children of the earth.

Creator, open our hearts to respect for the earth, and all the gifts of the earth.

Creator, open our hearts to end exclusion, violence and fear among all.

Thank-you for the gifts of this day and every day. —Mi ’kmaq prayer

Today’s Reflection: Thanks be to thee, Lord Jesus Christ,
for all the benefits thou has given me,
for all the pains and insults
thou hast borne for me.

O most merciful redeemer,
friend and brother,
may I know thee more clearly,
love thee more dearly,
and follow thee more nearly,
day by day. —St. Richard of Chichester

Today’s Reflection: But when through great generosity on our part we have emptied our lives of everything likely to raise a tempest in the heart, then Christ will sit at the helm and the waves may toss, the winds may roll and blow about the boat. We are calm. We have no cause to fear. Christ sits at the helm and rules.  —Fr. Willie Doyle, SJ, quoted in the book, To Raise the Fallen
