Today’s Reflection: Help Me Learn To Read My Heart

Almighty God,
author of my life,
help me learn to read what you have written on my heart.
Give me discerning eyes
and an untiring spirit
to look within me
in order to understand how to reach outside of me.
And once I have begun to read you aright,
give me the generosity to help others to read you,
to sound you out one letter,
one word of radical giving at a time. Author Unknown

Today’s Reflection: Silence consists, above all, in being quiet so as to be always ready to receive something greater. Leave your analyses and the avalanche of your deductions.  Allow silence to be manifested within your interior self. — Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection: Serenity Prayer (full version)

God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,
Courage to change the
things I can, and the
wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the
pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this
sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make
all things right if I
surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy
in this life, and supremely
happy with Him forever in
the next.
Amen.Reinhold Niebuhr (1926)

Today’s Reflection: God of all people,

you have given us a reliable

and caring guide,

in Jesus, our good shepherd.

May the message of his good news

help us to hear his voice

speaking to us today.

May we recognise his voice

in the cry of all those in need.

Amen. — CAFOD/Catholic prayer resource
