O come and save us, Lord our God.

Please, Lord,
Keep calling me back to you
By day or night,
In joy and in sadness,
During moments
Of success and moments of failure.
Never let me leave you. — Henri Nouwen

Today’s Reflection: Prayer
Oh God, I ask not for easier tasks.
I ask for stronger aptitudes and greater talents
to meet any tasks which may come my way.
Help me to help others
so that their lives may be made easier and happier.
Strengthen my confidence in those around me
in spite of what they may do or say.
Give me strength to live according to the Golden Rule,
enthusiasm to inspire those around me,
sympathy to help lighten the burdens of those who suffer,
and a spirit of joy and gladness to share with others. —Attributed to Harry Bullis, former chairman of General Mills

Today’s Reflection: Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody’s business. What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy. —Thomas Merton
