Today’s Reflection: Never Give Up

No matter what is going on, never give up.

Develop the heart.

Too much energy in your country is spent developing the mind instead of the heart.

Be compassionate, not just to your friends, but to everyone.

Work for peace in your heart and in the world.

Work for peace and I say again, never give up.

No matter what is happening, no matter what is going on around you, never give up. – Attributed to His Holiness, the XIV Dalai Lama

Today’s Reflection: Serenity Prayer (Complete version)

O God, grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference;
living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as a pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. – Reinhold Niebuhr (1892-1971)

Today’s Reflection: FAITH

We trust that beyond absence there is a presence.

That beyond pain there can be healing.

That beyond brokenness there can be wholeness.

That beyond anger there may be peace.

That beyond hurting there may be forgiveness.

That beyond silence there may be the Word. – Bodmin Hermit post

Today’s Reflection: Lord, may those who carry heavy hearts find peace and those who wander through the dark find light. May peace descend on every weary soul, like gentle rain on dry and thirsty ground. Grant stillness to the minds that cannot quiet, and calm hands that tremble in the night. May all who seek find refuge and be held in peace that passes all we understand. – Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.

Today’s Reflection: If it is peace you want, seek to change yourself, not others. It is easier to protect your feet with slippers, than to carpet the whole of the earth. – Anthony De Mello, SJ

Today’s Reflection: Give us hearts

of forgiveness and peace,

Lord Jesus,

that we may open ourselves

to relationship and reconciliation,

rather than distrust and division,

seeing each other

as the neighbours we are,

one family in your love,

bearers of your image,

your grace,

your love. – Bill Braviner, Anglican Archbishop of Halifax, U.K
