Today’s Reflection: Prayer –
May the Lord bless and keep you,
May His face shine upon you and be gracious to you;
May the Lord look kindly upon you and grant you peace.
May He enlighten the eyes of your heart,
So that you may understand the hope to which He calls you,
And the treasure that awaits you.
May He help you to overcome all obstacles in this Way and through life,
And may He accept you to His loving service. — Pilgrim’s Blessing, from CaminoIgnaciano.org/en

Today’s Reflection: Introduce yourself to each colour of the sunset. Reacquaint yourself with the earth beneath your feet. Thank the air that surrounds you with every breath you take. Find yourself in the appreciation of life. ― Unattributed.

Today’s Reflection: Where there is love, there is life.
Where there is life, there is hope.
Where there is hope, there is faith.
Where there is faith, miracles happen.
Where there is peace, there is God.
And when you have God, you have everything. — Unattributed.

Today’s Reflection: Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too well pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true
Because we have dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when
With the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new Heaven to dim.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wider seas
Where storms will show your mastery;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find the stars.

We ask You to push back
The horizons of our hopes;
And to push into the future
In strength, courage, hope, and love. — Attributed to Sir Francis Drake, c. 1577

Today’s Reflection: Lord God,
help me to orient my life toward you.
Help me to serve you rather than wealth.
Help me to prioritize those things that matter to you,
and forget about what the world values.
Help me to follow the path that you prepare for me. Amen. — Jesuit Prayer team.
