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: Lord Jesus,
You chose to be called the friend of sinners.
By your saving death and resurrection
free me from my sins.
May your peace take root in my heart
and bring forth a harvest of love, holiness, and truth.
Amen. — Act of Contrition from the Rite of Penance

Today’s Reflection: Our one and only tomato plant kept on giving and giving during August and into September but this is the end of the line. Such a gift it was. So, a word of thanks to the heavenly Master Gardener for the bounty of our garden!
