Morning Offering: 12. 03. 25

Today’s Reflection: Lord Jesus, thank you for the times you “bother” my heart, stirring me from comfort and calling me to care deeply. When I see injustice, suffering, or need, let that holy discomfort move me to action. Help me to pray persistently and seek your guidance, trusting that through you, my small actions will make a difference. Amen. — Jackie Schulte

Today’s  Reflection: Prayer

Lord,
May I see you in the pleading gaze of the poor.
May I hear your voice in the plaintive cry of your children in need.
Give me the courage to smile, to say a word of greeting, a word of encouragement.
Give me the generosity to share food with the hungry and clothes with the naked.
Far be it from me to speak badly of my sisters and brothers who are suffering.
Far be it from me to trample on their rights or to turn them away.
For the poor are your favorite disguise.
Amen. — Fr. Paul Kalenzi, SJ

Morning Offering: 02. 22. 22

Today’s Reflection: Lord, what am I when compared to this flower? What are you in giving this flower to me? How can I live my life to notice these simple gifts? The simple beauty of the flower stirs my need to know you better. I pray today, God, not to pretend to know you but to wait patiently as you reveal yourself to me over time. — from The Sacred Garden.
