Today’s Reflection: If I can stop
One heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain
Or help one fainting robin
Onto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain. – Emily Dickinson

Today’s Reflection: Never Give Up
No matter what is going on, never give up.
Develop the heart.
Too much energy in your country is spent developing the mind instead of the heart.
Be compassionate, not just to your friends, but to everyone.
Work for peace in your heart and in the world.
Work for peace and I say again, never give up.
No matter what is happening, no matter what is going on around you, never give up. – Attributed to His Holiness, the XIV Dalai Lama

Today’s Reflection:
Loving God,
may we be moved to act in compassion
so that all our sisters and brothers
who have been forced from their homes,
may receive a warm welcome
and have enough to eat.
Amen. —CAFOD prayer site
