Today’s Reflection: 

Lord Jesus,

Master of both the light and the darkness, send your Holy Spirit upon our preparations for Christmas.

We who have so much to do and seek quiet spaces to hear your voice each day,

We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us.

We who are blessed in so many ways long for the complete joy of your kingdom.

We whose hearts are heavy seek the joy of your presence.

We are your people, walking in darkness, yet seeking the light.

To you we say, “Come Lord Jesus!’

Amen. — Henri J.M. Nouwen

Today’s Reflection: Blessed are you, Lord God of the universe,
who give us peace to overcome our fear,
who have redeemed us from our way of being distant from you,
who have called us by name,
and who have thus claimed us as your beloved.

Open our eyes, Lord, help us to see as you;
open our hands, Lord, help us to reach out as you,
open our hearts, Lord, help us to love as you. —Fr. Glen Chun, SJ

Today’s Reflection: Morning Prayer

Open our eyes,

hearts and minds

to the intrinsic value

of each person, Lord,

for all bear your image,

all are held in your love.

Steer us away

from treating others

as objects to be used,

rather than neighbours

to be loved;

may we live

the mutuality

of your kingdom. —  Bill Braviner, Anglican Archdeacon of Halifax, UK
