Today’s Reflection: If you have men who will exclude any of God’s creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men.— St. Francis of Assisi

Today’s Reflection: Lord, we hold in prayer:
the sick in mind or body,
the dying,
the grieving,
those anxious for their loved ones,
those worried about the future,
those scared for their safety,
any who have lost their faith,
all in trouble or distress;
keep us safe under the shadow of your wing. — PrayeroftheChurch

Today’s Reflection: An Early Morning Prayer
I come before you, O Lord.
As the sun rises may your hope rise up in me.
As the birds sing may your love flow out of me.
As the light floods into the new day may your joy shine through me.
I come before you, O Lord
And drink in this moment of peace,
That I may carry something of your hope, love and joy today in my heart. — Author unknown

Today’s Reflection: Something a little different today:
Prayer
once
i saw my grandmother hold out
her hand cupping a small offering
of seed to one of the wild sparrows
that frequented the bird bath she
filled with fresh water every day
she stood still
maybe stopped breathing
while the sparrow looked
at her, then the seed
then back as if he was
judging her character
he jumped into her hand
began to eat
she smiled
a woman holding
a small god —”why i feed the birds” by Richard Vargas

Today’s Reflection: Looking behind
I am filled with gratitude
Looking forward
I am filled with vision
Looking upward
I am filled with strength
And looking within
I discover peace. — Apache prayer
