Today’s Reflection: Father in heaven, who sent your only Son Jesus Christ to save us from our sin, show me how to honor you and bring glory to your name, by walking in the way of Jesus.
Give me grace and mercy as I try and fail, give me guidance when I am not sure which way to go, and give me wisdom to trust you in all things. For your love brings light and life to all who seek it. May I seek you evermore as I walk with you through this Holy Week and beyond.
Amen. – Jesuit prayer site

Today’s Reflection:
Saint Francis, our brother, you who eight hundred years ago
went to meet Sister Death as a man at peace,
intercede for us before the Lord.
You recognized true peace in the Crucifix of San Damiano,
teach us to seek in Him the source of all reconciliation
that breaks down every wall.
You, who unarmed, crossed the lines of war and misunderstanding, give us the courage to build bridges where the world raises up boundaries.
In this time afflicted by conflict and division, intercede for us so that we may become peacemakers: unarmed and disarming witnesses of the peace that comes from Jesus.— Pope Leo’s A Prayer for the Jubilee Year of St. Francis

Today’s Reflection: Lord, grant me the humility to allow your light to shine through the cracks in my life.
Shine through the broken places in our families, in our communities, and in our world,
so that all may be healed.
In the name of Jesus, the true light of the world. Amen. —Jackie Schulte
