Today’s Reflection:
Note: Starting off the new year with a personal favourite:
My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going.
I do not see the road ahead of me.
I cannot know for certain where it will end.
Nor do I really know myself,
and the fact that I think I am following your will
does not mean that I am actually doing so.
But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you.
And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing.
I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire,
and I know that if I do this
you will lead me by the right road
though I may know nothing about it.
Therefore I will trust you always
though I may need to be lost and in the shadow of death.
I will not fear, for you are ever with me,
and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. — Thomas Merton, OCSO

Today’s Reflection: The Christmas season is a reminder of what theologians often call the “Great Reversal,” which lies at the heart of the Christian message: The virgin bears a son. The infant is a king. The poor are rich. The blind see. The lame walk. The deaf hear. The hungry are fed. The humbled are exalted. The last are first. The stranger is our friend. Those on the margins are in the center. And, of course, the greatest of all reversals, made manifest at the true end of the Christmas story, which is the Resurrection: the dead live. And nothing is impossible with God. Merry Christmas. — Fr. James Martin SJ

Today’s Reflection: Christ in the manger, Your humble coming as man fills us with hope that our lives matter, that God is truly with us, and that we are never alone, even in death. You shared our human nature in every way but sin, and so give us hope that we will one day share life in heaven with You. — mycatholiclife
