Today’s Reflection: We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass – grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.  — St. Teresa of Calcutta

Today’s Reflection: Jesus, sometimes it is a struggle for me to hope,
and to believe that goodness and love
will triumph over the evils of this world,
with so much violence and suffering,
in every nation.

Walk with me this day,
show me your works alive in the world,
so you and I can see the true God,
who is our living Father 
The one who brings us Easter goodness,
In such a Good Friday world. —Fr. Phil Cooke, SJ

Today’s Reflection: May I be at peace.
May my heart remain open.
May I be aware of my true nature.
May I be healed.
May I be a source of healing to others.
May I dwell in the breath of God. —St. Teresa of Avila

Today’s Reflection: When all else fails we remember God and appeal for help. And in the stillness of this holy contact help assuredly comes. Sooner or later our fruitless efforts to escape from our entanglements must cease; we must realize their futility. We must grow quiet enough to realize God’s omnipresence, to feel his comforting hand and open our hearts from within, silently, letting his healing have its way. Then the waters will flow over the arid soil and things will start to grow again. If only we keep still. God permits many wounds — but there are also miracles.—  Fr. Alfred Delp S.J.

Today’s Reflection: To be just, it is not enough to refrain from injustice. One  must go further and refuse to play its game, substituting love for self-interest as the driving force of society. — Pedro Arrupe SJ
