Today’s Reflection: Holy Saturday morning prayer — O Lord, On this day, the world was waiting, like a long winter hoping for spring, like a dry land awaiting rain. Still, quiet, in between a world hesitating, silent hope in a dark place. Lord, we give to you the times we have in own lives, where all we can do is wait, when all we hold is hope. We give you those times when all we have is faith in new life, new beginnings and heaven’s call. Be with all those who today wait in that cold, uncertain place. Hold them, keep them safe in your arms, resting in your promise of new life. Amen. — Catholic prayer site

Today’s Reflection: Lord,
I want to ask you “Please let me see,”
but for some reason the words stick a little in my throat.
I think a part of me fears what you want to show me.
Will it be more than my mind and heart are prepared to take in?
Will you throw me a curveball I didn’t expect?
Help me Lord, to trust the voice deep inside of me
that knows you only wish to show me the magnificent things
possible with love and trust and hope in You.
Amen. —Gretchen Crowder

Today’s Reflection: PRAYER FOR HOPE
I know You will never forsake me, God.
I take this moment to spend with You as things around me seem uncertain.
I feel lost and my worries consume me.
But when I close my eyes and quietly think of You, I feel a second of peace.
I pray that today, those seconds can become minutes or hours.
That Your peace can drown out my doubts and inspire hope inside of me. Amen — Daily TV Mass site

Today’s Reflection: Prayer –
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
