Today’s Reflection: Dear Jesus,
I am weary and am carrying a heavy burden like you said,
And at least half of it is plain-and-simply mine –
I’m not this enough
I’m not that enough
I’m too much this
I’m too much that
and what if they find out?!
Jesus, please give me rest.
Replace my burden with yours,
my yoke with yours,
replace my judgment with gentleness
replace my ego’s bigness with humility’s smallness
and help me learn how to rest
knowing my life isn’t about success,
but about us – you, me, my family, my neighbor
and how we complete each other along the way.
Amen. — Fr. Garrett Gundlach, SJ

Today’s Reflection: Every moment there are a million miracles happening around you: a flower blossoming, a bird tweeting, a bee humming, a raindrop falling, a snowflake wafting along the clear evening air. There is magic everywhere. If you learn how to live it, life is nothing short of a daily miracle. — Sadhguru.

Today’s Reflection:
Lord Jesus,
You teach us in your parable (the Good Samaritan) that there are two kinds of people – those who bend down to help and those who look the other way.
Which kind of people will we be?
We say, “Yes, Lord, I will love you and love my neighbor.”
But then we ask:
The migrant… is she my neighbor?
Those in poverty…are they my neighbors?
Victims of war across the world… are they neighbors?
One who faces racism… is he my neighbor?
Those disabled or elderly… are they my neighbors?
You remind us: Yes. All of us neighbors.
Show us how to love, Lord.
May we open our eyes.
May we emerge from our comfortable isolation.
May we build a world of compassion and dignity.
Lord Jesus, who was neighbor to all,
Help us to persevere in love.
Help us to restore dignity to the suffering.
Help us to build a society based not on exclusion, but on community.
Amen. — United States Conference of Catholic Bishops prayer inspired by the encyclical, Fratelli Tutti, by Pope Francis.
