Today’s Reflection:  No One Beyond Reach

Loving God, Open our ears to hear the cries of our sisters and brothers and of the earth, our common home.

Open our eyes to the scandal of poverty and injustice in the world.

Open our hearts to feel the pain, the hurt, the hunger of one another.

Open our mouths to speak of the dignity of each person, precious in your sight.

Open our arms wide to reach out with compassion so that all distance vanishes.

Open our hearts to share your love and our hope of a world where no one is beyond reach.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord, Amen.—  Catholic social justice resource

Lord, open our eyes to see your face in all we encounter, open our ears to hear your voice in those, often ignored. —  Bodmin Hermit

Today’s Reflection:  The OTHER Serenity Prayer:

God, grant me the serenity to stop beating myself up for not doing things perfectly, the courage to forgive myself because I’m working on doing better,  and the wisdom to know that you already love me just the way I am.  — Author unknown
