Morning Offering: 01. 13. 24

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 wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships 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 things right

If I surrender to His Will;

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life

And supremely happy with Him

Forever and ever in the next.

Amen.— Reinhold Neibuhr

Today’s Reflection: Grant us the grace, we pray O Lord, to listen to even voices that we consider strange or unfamiliar. May we exhaust one another with our listening, with our recognition, with our validation. May we never hesitate to hear your own voice within the words or cries of another. — Patrick Hyland, SJ
