Today’s Reflection: Jesus, sometimes it is a struggle for me to hope,
and to believe that goodness and love
will triumph over the evils of this world,
with so much violence and suffering,
in every nation.

Walk with me this day,
show me your works alive in the world,
so you and I can see the true God,
who is our living Father 
The one who brings us Easter goodness,
In such a Good Friday world. —Fr. Phil Cooke, SJ

Today’s Reflection: May I be at peace.
May my heart remain open.
May I be aware of my true nature.
May I be healed.
May I be a source of healing to others.
May I dwell in the breath of God. —St. Teresa of Avila

Today’s Reflection: When all else fails we remember God and appeal for help. And in the stillness of this holy contact help assuredly comes. Sooner or later our fruitless efforts to escape from our entanglements must cease; we must realize their futility. We must grow quiet enough to realize God’s omnipresence, to feel his comforting hand and open our hearts from within, silently, letting his healing have its way. Then the waters will flow over the arid soil and things will start to grow again. If only we keep still. God permits many wounds — but there are also miracles.—  Fr. Alfred Delp S.J.

Today’s Reflection: To be just, it is not enough to refrain from injustice. One  must go further and refuse to play its game, substituting love for self-interest as the driving force of society. — Pedro Arrupe SJ

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. —Attributed to St. Francis of Assisi

Lord of the Morning,

enlighten my mind with truth

Inflame my heart with love

enrich my life with service.

Pardon what I have been

sanctify what I am

and order what I shall be.
