Today’s Reflection: Prayer for Courage to Advocate for the Poor

Dear Lord, Grant us the courage to stand up for the voiceless and advocate for the poor.
Fill our hearts with compassion and our spirits with strength, so we may be bold in our efforts to bring justice and support to those in need.
Help us to be instruments of Your love, shining light in the darkness of poverty.
Amen. — Jesuit prayer site

 Today’s Reflection: The Work of Christmas Begins

When the carols have been stilled,
When the star-topped tree is taken down,
When family and friends are gone home,
When we are back to our schedules
The work of Christmas begins:
  To welcome the refugee,
  To heal a broken planet,
  To feed the hungry,
  To build bridges of trust, not walls of fear,
  To share our gifts,
  To seek justice and peace for all people,
  To bring Christ’s light to the world. — by Michael Dougherty, a variation on Howard Thurman’s ‘When the Song of the Angels is Stilled’
