Today’s Reflection: I believe in God not because my parents told me to, not because the Church told me to, but because I’ve experienced His Goodness and Mercy for myself. Amen — Author unknown.

Today’s Reflection: Push My Buttons Prayer
Lord, it’s likely that sometime today
someone will push my buttons
challenge my good will
misread my intentions
tick me off
try my patience
rattle my cage
judge me in haste
test my kindness
or do all of the above…
Give me the grace I’ll need at such times
to respond with patience
to trust and accept
to listen carefully
to reach out in peace
to be fair and just
to anticipate goodness
in all my words and deeds…
I know this is a lot to ask, Lord,
but I need your help
to do for others
as I’d have them do for me. Amen. — Rev. Austin Fleming

Today’s Reflection: Jesus, sometimes it is a struggle for me to hope,
and to believe that goodness and love
will triumph over the evils of this world,
with so much violence and suffering,
in every nation.
Walk with me this day,
show me your works alive in the world,
so you and I can see the true God,
who is our living Father
The one who brings us Easter goodness,
In such a Good Friday world. —Fr. Phil Cooke, SJ

Today’s Reflection: Be present.
Let the day flow with grace.
Expect nothing. Give thanks.
Surrender. Be open.
Speak only kindness.
Impart only love.
Never forget you’re not alone.
Give so you may receive.
See goodness in others. — Unattributed.

Today’s Reflection: God of Goodness,
I come into your presence so aware of my human frailty and yet overwhelmed by your love for me.
I thank you that there is no human experience that I might walk through where your love cannot reach me.
If I climb the highest mountain you are there and yet if I find myself in the darkest valley of my life, you are there.
Teach me today to love you more.
Help me to rest in that love that asks nothing more than the simple trusting heart of a child. — Author Unknown.
