Today’s Reflection: Heavenly Father, you challenge me to love my enemies. I cannot love like this without your help. Unite me to your heart. Forgive me for labeling others an “enemy” simply out of disagreement or injured feelings. Expand my capacity for love and forgiveness. Grant me your compassion. Amen — Jesuit Prayer team

Today’s Reflection: Christ,
Coming closer to you
is saying yes to a stretch
Of who I think I can love
with this clumsy heart
Of who I think I can understand
with this limited mind
Of who I think I could befriend
with this small imagination
You stretch me inside
to push me outside
on mission –
To love and listen
To grow my world with your love.
Okay, but gently please, Amen. —Fr. Garrett Gundlach SJ

Today’s Reflection: By welcoming a marginalized person whose body is wounded and by welcoming the sinner whose soul is wounded, we put our credibility as Christians on the line. Let us always remember the words of Saint John of the Cross: “In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone.” ― Pope Francis, The Name of God Is Mercy
