Today’s Reflection: O great God/Spirit, you have created me and everything around me with a sense of mystery. I now step into that mystery and put my arms around it. Help me to accept the things of this day I do not, and cannot, understand and that my encounter with them will bring me nearer to you and closer to living a holy life. — Step Three, Native American Three Step Prayer (Last of three, the two previous were April 16 and April 17)).

Today’s Reflection: Dear God/Spirit, you have created me as I am. I accept myself as I am now, in the past, and as I will be in the future. I ask that today I will be true to the way you have created me. Help me to walk respectfully on Mother Earth so none of its plants will be crushed. Help me to walk into people’s lives in the same way today so none of them will be bruised.— Step Two, Native American Three Step Prayer

Today’s Reflection: Be a gardener,
Dig a ditch.
Toil and sweat,
And turn the earth upside down
And seek the deepness
And water the plants in time.
And make sweet floods run
And noble and abundant fruits to spring.
Take this food and drink
And carry it to God
As your true worship. — Julian of Norwich
