Today’s Reflection: MORNING PRAYER
Lord of the Morning, You have brought me to this new day. As the world is renewed fresh and clean, so I ask you to renew my heart with your strength and purpose. Forgive the errors of yesterday and bless me to walk closer in your way today. — Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection: “I do believe, help my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24)
Jesus, it can be easier to believe in you when my life is running smoothly; harder, when things are rocky. Help me come to you and serve you always; in the ups and downs, smiles and cries, hills and valleys. Increase my faith and help me to manifest that faith every day of my life. Jesus, I trust in you. —Fr. Aaron Malnick, SJ

Today’s Reflection: Morning Prayer –
Lord, give us grace
to come to you;
not merely as
a member of a crowd,
curious to see a show,
but with a true desire
to encounter you,
to know your love,
to find your peace,
to be made whole,
to enter into the new life
of your kingdom.
Meet us; draw us to yourself.. — Bill Braviner, Anglican Archdeacon of Halifax, UK.

Today’s Reflection: Heavenly Father,
As You prune the branches of our lives,
Grant us the grace to yield to Your loving hand,
To surrender to Your will,
And to trust in Your divine plan.
In the pruning process, may we find renewal,
May we grow in love, compassion, and mercy,
And may our lives bear abundant fruit,
Reflecting Your glory to the world.
Amen.—Jackie Schulte

Today’s Reflection: Easter Morning
As the world sings triumphant cries to heaven over death that you conquered, help us, Lord, tomorrow as well, when the dresses are put away and the candy is all eaten and on with life we go let us not forget.
The celebration of your resurrection over death is a celebration of life that should continue well beyond the sunrise service and the music, rehearsed for days prior; it is beyond the sign of spring, beyond the lily, beyond new lambs grazing in open fields.
Resurrection is a daily celebration over fear; man’s greatest and most powerful enemy. Fear of tomorrow, fear of our yesterdays, fear of what shall become of our young our old our unborn. Resurrection is replacing fear with physical action.
This alone, the most touching and profound of your signs that fear is dead and belief in you brings, not just hope but life.
What better living parable could You have brought? All fear death. All. Even in the garden, You took on our fear if for only moments, it was as real as our fears can be real and You knew then that this single enemy must be destroyed.
And, You sacrificed your life, leaving those who had been comfort, and follower; You left them behind, to conquer fear.
I shall cling to this now, and the tomorrows given me.
Peace and thanksgiving lifted unto you. Amen. — Author Unknown
