Morning Offering: 03. 04. 23

Today’s Reflection: Lord, when we are anxious and confused, provide comfort and reassurance.
When we are idle and lazy, provide inspiration and energizing encouragement.
While we wait, ready our bodies, hearts, and minds to receive you.
As we tend to our Christian duties, do not delay.
Come, Lord, Jesus! Amen.
Come, Lord, Jesus! Amen. — Christopher Alt, SJ

Today’s Reflection: On This Day….
Try to understand;
Flout envy;
Examine your demands on others;

Laugh a little more;

Today’s Reflection: Lord, I believe, but help with my unbelief. Help my head, and my heart, and my soul to believe in you, and trust in you fully, without a doubt, knowing that in you all things are possible. Lord, strengthen my faith. Amen. — Kathy England.

Today’s Reflection: Carry out God’s commandments in what you do every day. Embrace chastity. Hate no one. Do not be jealous or give in to feelings of envy. Do not take pleasure in disputes. Avoid pride, respect your elders and care for those younger than yourself. Pray for your enemies in the love of Christ. Before the day’s end be reconciled with anyone with whom you have a disagreement. Never despair of God’s mercy. — St. Benedict of Nursia from The Rule of St. Benedict.

Morning Offering: 12. 20. 22

Today’s Reflection: Gracious God,
Thank you for the gift of today.
Refresh me. Invite me to discover your presence
In each person that I meet
And every event that I encounter.
Teach me when to speak and when to listen
When to ponder and when to share.
In moments of challenge and decision
Attune my heart to the whisperings of your Wisdom.
As I undertake ordinary and unnoticed tasks,
Gift me with simple joy.
When my day goes well, may I rejoice.
When it grows difficult, surprise me with
New possibilities.
When life is overwhelming, call me to
Sabbath moments
To restore your Peace and Harmony.
May my living today reveal your Goodness. — Pat Bergen, C.S.J. (Congregation of St. Joseph).
