Today’s Reflection: Lord, bring your saints into my garden to remind me each day through their examples. Let St. Francis inspire me to love the birds and all living things. Let St. Phocas the gardener be my guide in enriching the soil. Through St. Therese, the Little Flower, may I make every act, no matter how small, one that honors you. Amen. — from God In The Garden

Today’s Reflection: MEDITATE ON –
I found it strange
yet perfectly balanced
that I needed my wounds
to heal my faith
and my faith
to heal my wounds. — Bodmin Hermit, a Franciscan hermit in Cornwall, England.

Today’s Reflection: If you desire a closer, more intimate relationship with Jesus — if you desire your spiritual life to grow more profoundly and go far beyond the humdrum existence of a Christian who is just going through the motions — then step back with me and consider what it means to follow Jesus intentionally as a disciple. — Edward Sri from his book Into His Likeness

Today’s Reflection: Christ,
Coming closer to you
is saying yes to a stretch

Of who I think I can love
with this clumsy heart

Of who I think I can understand
with this limited mind

Of who I think I could befriend
with this small imagination

You stretch me inside
to push me outside
on mission –
To love and listen
To grow my world with your love.

Okay, but gently please, Amen. — Fr. Garrett Gundlach, SJ

Strength and joy. Amen. — Catholic prayer site
