Today’s Reflection: Prayer
Lord, in this season of Lent,
I come to you with a heart that longs for order but too often clings to control.
Create in me a well-ordered heart, one that reflects your presence, not just my plans.
May this Lent be a time of clearing away the clutter,
so that I may walk more freely with you.
Amen. —Jackie Schulte

Today’s Reflection: Prayer
Lord,
May I see you in the pleading gaze of the poor.
May I hear your voice in the plaintive cry of your children in need.
Give me the courage to smile, to say a word of greeting, a word of encouragement.
Give me the generosity to share food with the hungry and clothes with the naked.
Far be it from me to speak badly of my sisters and brothers who are suffering.
Far be it from me to trample on their rights or to turn them away.
For the poor are your favorite disguise.
Amen. — Fr. Paul Kalenzi, SJ

God, please enlighten my mind with truth;

Lord, as the first light of dawn paints the sky, I open my heart to you. May this day be a canvas for your grace, and may my actions be a reflection of your love. You have saved your creation. In mercy, grant us a day of peace and bestow forgiveness for our sins. — Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection: Morning Prayer
Inspire us Lord,
as your people,
to devote our energies
to both the mission
of your message,
and the mission
of social action
to benefit all.
May your love soar
on these two
wings of mission,
that all may be nourished
in heart and soul,
knowing the peace
you bring. — Bill Braviner, Anglican Archdeacon of Halifax, U.K.
