Today’s Reflection: Lord,
I hear you inviting me to go all in,
but at the same time,
I feel my fist clenching tighter around
my last two precious coins.
I want to serve you,
and at the same time
I fear what giving you all of me might mean.
Grant me the grace to feel your magnanimous love
flow unfettered through my limbs
bringing them new energy, life, and purpose
so I may release the tightness of my grip
and finally go all in.
Amen — Gretchen Crowder

Today’s Reflection: May the sun bring you new energy by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night,
May the rain wash away your worries,
May the breeze blow new strength into your being,
May you walk gently through the world
and know its beauty all the days of your life… — Apache Blessing

Today’s Reflection: Yes, if you and I are not seriously pursuing the real God, inevitably we will focus on things that can never satisfy us. We are chasing after dead ends. Prayer is the push to reality/Reality. — Fr. Thomas Dubay, from his book Prayer Primer.

Today’s Reflection: Today I pray for silence in a cacophony of sound.
I ask for the grace to float in the currents of my soul.
To feel the ebb and flow of the Spirit holding me.
To hear the gentle pulls and pushes of Your whispers.
To accept the gravitational fall to my center in you.
To open my heart to courageous acceptance,
Bringing your hope, your love to the world. —Jen LaMaster

Today’s Reflection: A Morning Prayer
Oh God, enlighten my mind with truth.
Inflame my heart with love,
Inspire my will with courage,
Enrich my life with service,
Pardon what I have been,
Sanctify what I am,
Order what I shall be,
And Thine shall be the glory and
Mine the eternal salvation
Through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen — The Chautauqua Prayer

Today’s Reflection: Prayer
May the Lord bless and keep you,
May His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
May the Lord look kindly upon you and grant you peace.
May He enlighten the eyes of your heart,
So that you may understand the hope to which He calls you,
And the treasure that awaits you.
May He help you to overcome all obstacles in this Way and through life,
And may He accept you to His loving service. — Pilgrim’s Blessing, from CaminoIgnacio

Today’s Reflection: We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls. — St. Teresa of Calcutta
