Today’s Reflection: Lord, I am longing to love as you do—purely and unconditionally. You asked your followers to love our neighbors as you have loved us. Yet, so often I find myself judging others, holding grudges and withholding love. Help me to open my heart to others. Let me always see in others what you see.  –  The Passionists of Holy Cross Province

Today’s Reflection: My Joy!

There are some souls on earth

Which seek in vain for happiness,

But for me, it’s just the opposite.

Joy is in my heart.

This joy is not ephemeral.

I possess it forever.

Like the springtime rose, It smiles at me every day.

— St. Therese of Lisieux, French Carmelite (1873–1897)

Today’s Reflection: Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. – from Matthew 11.25-30

Today’s Reflection: Never Give Up

No matter what is going on, never give up.

Develop the heart.

Too much energy in your country is spent developing the mind instead of the heart.

Be compassionate, not just to your friends, but to everyone.

Work for peace in your heart and in the world.

Work for peace and I say again, never give up.

No matter what is happening, no matter what is going on around you, never give up. – Attributed to His Holiness, the XIV Dalai Lama

Today’s Reflection: Lord, grant me the wisdom to know when to speak and when to hold my tongue. Help me recognize the moments that call for courage and truth, and the moments when letting go brings greater peace. Guide my words to be gentle, my silence to be purposeful and my heart always aligned with Your grace. Amen. – Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.
