Today’s Reflection: Sometimes words fail me. They seem so clumsy, so inadequate, too weak to get beyond my living room let alone make it through heaven’s door. — Unknown

Today’s Reflection: Let Your God Love You
Be silent.
Be still.
Alone.
Empty.
Before your God.
Say nothing.
Ask nothing.
Be silent.
Be still.
Let your God look upon
you.
That is all.
God knows.
God understands.
God loves you
With an enormous love,
And only wants
To look upon you
With that love.
Quiet.
Still.
Be.
Let your God—
Love you. —Edwina Gately

Today’s Reflection: God of all mercies,
God of all consolation,
comfort us in our afflictions
that we in turn might comfort those who are in trouble
with the same consolation we have received. — Prayer in times of Suffering and Needs.

Today’s Reflection: Lord, help us to see the true heroes in our lives – the pastor who leads, the teacher who cares, the neighbour who helps, the health care provider who listens, the ones who quietly show up. May we honor them and strive to be like them. — Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.
