Today’s Reflection: A Prayer for Peace
How do we pray for peace from half a world away?
How can words salve and soothe real wounds,
Assuage real fears, Wipe tears from real eyes?
God of endless compassion, transform our prayers
From words into bridges, that span the distances
Between us, uniting our hearts in yours.
Every time we turn our keys in a lock,
May we remember all who are losing their homes.
Every time we step into our cars,
May we remember all who are having to flee.
Every time we embrace our children,
May we remember all who are trying to shield theirs from war.
May our besieged sisters and brothers
Be drawn into the arms of the suffering Christ,
And may our cry be heard as one voice,
Ringing out from every corner of the earth:
God of endless mercy, grant us peace.
Amen. — Cameron Bellm, a writer of prayers, poems, and devotionals.

Today’s Reflection: Eternity is not what happens at the end of time, after we are dead. Every time we love and forgive then we have put a foot into eternity, which is God’s life. And that is why we can be joyful even on Good Friday, even in the face of suffering and death. — Timothy Radcliffe OP, in Seven Last Words.

Today’s Reflection: Prayer: Lord,
Give me news eyes to see you in all things.
Give me new ears to hear your voice, your comfort and commands.
Grant me new wisdom, understanding, and memory to put it all together,
and a heart soft enough to relish it.
Amen — David J. Herr, SJ

Today’s Reflection: May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be confident knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us. — Some attribute this to St. Therèse of Lisieux, others to St. Teresa of Avila. Regardless of author, it’s a work of beauty.
