Today’s Reflection: Show gratitude for:
Those who lift you up;
Those who keep you going;
Those who make you smile;
Those who bring you joy;
Those who comfort you;
Those who give you a shoulder to lean on;
Those who are there for you in good times and bad;
Those who give you purpose;
Those who bring you peace;
Those who are no longer here, but we still feel in spirit. — Maria Shriver

Today’s Reflection: God, when the road is long and the way is hard, fill me with quiet courage to keep going. Help me rise after each stumble, trusting that you walk with me through every struggle. Teach me to persist — not in my own strength alone but in the strength You provide each day. — Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration

Today’s Reflection: When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light, for your life, for your strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason to give thanks, the fault lies in yourself. — Tecumseh

Today’s Reflection: Lord Jesus, thank you for the times you “bother” my heart, stirring me from comfort and calling me to care deeply. When I see injustice, suffering, or need, let that holy discomfort move me to action. Help me to pray persistently and seek your guidance, trusting that through you, my small actions will make a difference. Amen. — Jackie Schulte

Today’s Reflection: The Power of a Whisper
Slow me down today, Lord,
and whisper a word or two – or more,
in the quiet of my mind and heart…
When I’m cursing myself or others,
whisper words of blessing…
When I’m judging another’s words and deeds,
whisper words of patience…
When my voice is still and silent,
whisper words that I might speak…
When I’m saying much too much,
whisper words to shut me up…
When I’ve failed and when I’ve sinned,
whisper words of pardon…
When I’m facing loss and grief,
whisper words of consolation…
When I’m stuck in my own foolishness,
whisper words of wisdom…
When I’m confounded and confused,
whisper words of counsel…
When I’m caught up in my lies,
whisper words of truth.
When life is just too tough to take,
whisper words of hope…
When my heart is broken, hurt and wounded,
whisper words of healing…
When I’m at war with my neighbor or myself,
whisper words of peace…
Slow me down, Lord,
and help me find a quiet place to hear
the whisper of your word…
Slow me down today, Lord,
and whisper a word or two – or more,
in the quiet of my mind and heart…
Amen. — Rev. Austin Fleming

Today’s Reflection: God, I come before you today in need of hope.
There are times when I feel helpless,
There are times when I feel weak.
I pray for hope.
I need hope for a better future.
I need hope for a better life.
I need hope for love and kindness.
Help me to walk in your light and live
my life in faith and glory.
In your name, I pray, Amen. — A Prayer for Hope, author unknown
