Today’s Reflection: The civilisation that God wants to exist among us is the civilisation of love which also includes justice, truth, and freedom. — St. Oscar Romero, Mass of the Lord’s Supper homily, 1979.

God, whom we meet in bread and wine, in body broken and blood outpoured, fill us with your compassion, that we may hear the cries of the hungry and reach out to those in need. Engender in us a thirst for justice, that the hungry will be satisfied and the rich sent empty away. Roll away our apathy that, with arms outstretched, we may offer life in place of death and hope in the face of despair. Amen. — Annabel Shilson-Thomas/CAFOD

Today’s Reflection: Begin your day and your prayers in silence, for it is in the silence of the heart that God speaks. He is the friend of silence, we need to listen to God because it’s not what we say but what He says to us and through us that matters. — Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection: It seems to me that some of us value information over wonder, and noise over silence. And I feel that we need a lot more wonder and a lot more silence in our lives. — Fred Rogers

Today’s Reflection: Prayer Lord here are my dirty feet
Lord, here are my dirty feet! Proof of my walking in life Proof of easy and difficult distances and of steady or rough roads
Lord, that I may not fear being tired and hurt Lord, that I may not fear the dirt and the smell That I may not avoid walking, due to fear of the terrain. Though sometimes I may trip and wound myself
Remind me, that my humanity is a walk Not a static fixed pose Life is movement, and in our essential walk Sometimes we feel progress and sometimes we only see dust But Lord, you are with me, and for me, no matter what. I offer you my head and my hands, Take care of my walk. —Sindy Collazo
