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

Oh God, I ask not for easier tasks. I ask for stronger aptitudes and greater talents to meet any tasks which may come my way.
Help me to help others so that their lives may be made easier and happier. Strengthen my confidence in those around me in spite of what they may do or say.
Give me strength to live according to the Golden Rule, enthusiasm to inspire those around me, sympathy to help lighten the burdens of those who suffer, and a spirit of joy and gladness to share with others. —Attributed to Harry Bullis, former chairman of General Mills
