Lord, Give us understanding that we may learn our lessons well. Give us compassion that we may show your face to those we meet. Give us generosity that we may share the gifts you have given us. Give us faith that we may have confidence in ourselves. Above all give us love that we may bring joy into the lives of those around us. —Excerpted from Prayer of Dedication by Adrian Porter, SJ

Today’s Reflection: Lord, I hear you inviting me to go all in, but at the same time, I feel my fist clenching tighter around my last two precious coins. I want to serve you, and at the same time I fear what giving you all of me might mean. Grant me the grace to feel your magnanimous love flow unfettered through my limbs bringing them new energy, life, and purpose so I may release the tightness of my grip and finally go all in. Amen — Gretchen Crowder
