Today’s Reflection: Prayer for Humility
Let me have too deep a sense of humor to be proud.
Let me know my absurdity before I act absurdly.
Let me realize that when I am humble I am most human,
most truthful,
and most worthy of your serious consideration. —Daniel Lord, SJ.

Today’s Reflection: Today, O God of all days,
give me an experience of your heart.
Draw me deep into your very being,
into the core of your love for me, others, and the world.
Give me a glimpse of others the way you see others:
loving them, forgiving them,
and delighting in the way they give glory to God
through their very existence.
Help me to discern out of that open place of deep affection
so that I too might be a useful vessel of your love in the world. — Author unknown.

Morning Offering: 07. 31. 22

Today’s Reflection: Never tire of this one – Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen. — Peace Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi.

Today’s Reflection: It helped me to look at fields or water or flowers. In these things I found a remembrance of the Creator. I mean that they awakened and recollected me and served as a book. — St. Teresa of Avila.
