Morning Offering: 10. 16. 23

Today’s Reflection: Jesus,
Teach me to love everyone
Like you did.

When I struggle,
I ask for the courage
To pause,
To listen,
To feel,
To re-think,
And to change

Again and again.

Amen. — Katie Davis-Crowder

Today’s Reflection: We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.  — St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Today’s Reflection:  TRANQUILITY & PRACTICAL SPIRITUALITY – I have found that the greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love and compassion. The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well-being becomes. — Dalai Lama

Morning Offering: 07. 12. 23

Today’s Reflection: Dear God,
On this day I ask You to grant this request.
May I know who I am and what I am,
Every moment of every day.
May I be a catalyst for light and love,
And bring inspiration to those whose eyes I meet.
May I have the strength to stand tall in the face of conflict,
And the courage to speak my voice, even when I’m scared.
May I have the humility to follow my heart,
And the passion to live my soul’s desires.
May I seek to know the highest truth
And dismiss the gravitational pull of my lower self.
May I embrace and love the totality of myself?
My darkness as well as my light.
May I be brave enough to hear my heart?
To let it soften so that I may gracefully
Choose faith over fear.
Today is my day to surrender anything that stands
Between the sacredness of my humanity and my divinity.
May I be drenched in my Holiness
And engulfed by Your love.
May all else melt away.
And so it is. — Debbie Ford

Today’s Reflection: Dear Lord,
Please help me to be a better person,
to see you in every corner of my life,
to see you in the people in the world,
to see you in the smallest flower and seed,
to see you in the mountains and valleys,
to see you in the sunset and sunrise
everywhere.
And to know that you love me. — Joan Colleran Hoxsey

Let the day flow with grace.
Expect nothing. Give thanks.
Surrender. Be open.

Impart only love.

See goodness in others. — Unattributed.

Today’s Reflection: Prayer –
Jesus, sometimes it is a struggle for me to hope,
and to believe that goodness and love
will triumph over the evils of this world,
with so much violence and suffering,
in every nation.

Walk with me this day,
show me your works alive in the world,
so you and I can see the true God,
who is our living Father
The one who brings us Easter goodness,
In such a Good Friday world — Fr. Phil Cooke, SJ
