Today’s Reflection:  No One Beyond Reach

Loving God, Open our ears to hear the cries of our sisters and brothers and of the earth, our common home.

Open our eyes to the scandal of poverty and injustice in the world.

Open our hearts to feel the pain, the hurt, the hunger of one another.

Open our mouths to speak of the dignity of each person, precious in your sight.

Open our arms wide to reach out with compassion so that all distance vanishes.

Open our hearts to share your love and our hope of a world where no one is beyond reach.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord, Amen.—  Catholic social justice resource

Today’s Reflection: Today, Lord, I choose to believe in you
    – not to try to go it alone –
            but to believe in your loving care for me…

 Today, Lord, I choose to trust in you
    – not to stress out in fear and panic –
            but to trust that you’re always right by my side…

 Today, Lord, I choose to live by your Word
    – not by my whims and fancies –
            but by the wisdom and truth of your Word…

Today, Lord, I choose to walk your path
    – following your map and not my own –
            ’til I find you within me as well as beside me… — Fr. Austin Fleming, excerpt from “Today I Choose”
