Today’s Reflection: Heavenly father, I am your humble servant,
I come before you today in need of hope.
I need hope for a calm and joyful future.
I need hope for love and kindness.
I pray for peace and safety.

Some say that the sky is at its darkest just before the light.
I pray that this is true, for today seems
stormy and dim.
I need your light, Lord, in every way.
I pray to be filled with your light. Help me to walk
in your light, and live my life in faith and service.
In your name I pray, Amen. — A Prayer for Hope and Peace, author unknown

Today’s Reflection: EARLY MORNING PRAYER
I come before you, O Lord.
As the sun rises may your hope rise in me.
As the birds sing may your love flow out of me.
As the light flows into the new day,
May your joy shine through me.
I come before you O Lord
And drink in this moment of peace,
That I may carry something of your hope, love and joy
Today in my heart. Amen. — Author unknown

Today’s Reflection: The name of Jesus is light, and food, and medicine. It is light, when it is preached to us; it is food, when we think upon it; it is the medicine that soothes our pains when we invoke it. — St. Bernard of Clairvaux.

Today’s Reflection: Our life of faith most often walks in the night. The more faith has to confront trials, the stronger it becomes. Nights of faith always end with finding the little light of God. — Robert Cardinal Sarah, from the book God or Nothing.

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 Nouwen.
