Today’s Reflection: Lord, grant me the humility to allow your light to shine through the cracks in my life.
Shine through the broken places in our families, in our communities, and in our world, so that all may be healed.
In the name of Jesus, the true light of the world. Amen. —Jackie Schulte.

Today’s Reflection: Autumn Months
O God of Creation, you have blessed us with the changing of the seasons.
As we welcome the autumn months,
may the earlier setting of the sun
remind us to take time to rest.
May the brilliant colors of the leaves
remind us of the wonder of your creation.
May the steam of our breath in the cool air
remind us that it is you who give us the breath of life.
May the harvest from the fields remind us of the abundance we have been given and bounty we are to share with others.
May the dying of summer’s spirit remind us of your great promise that death is temporary and life is eternal.
We praise you for your goodness forever and ever. — Author Unknown.

Today’s Reflection: Entertainment and consumption have practically become the point of life in our modern culture. Without time for serious thought processes, we are losing the ability to think deeply. We don’t even have time to wonder, What is the meaning of it all? Do we possess our possessions, or do they possess us? Do we consume pleasures and entertainment, or do they consume us? — Jeanette Flood, from her book Eight Ways of Loving God.

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.
