Today’s Reflection: Where there is love, there is life.
Where there is life, there is hope.
Where there is hope, there is faith.
Where there is faith, miracles happen.
Where there is peace, there is God.
And when you have God, you have everything. — Unattributed.

Today’s Reflection: The Power of a Whisper
Slow me down today, Lord,
and whisper a word or two – or more,
in the quiet of my mind and heart…
When I’m cursing myself or others,
whisper words of blessing…
When I’m judging another’s words and deeds,
whisper words of patience…
When my voice is still and silent,
whisper words that I might speak…
When I’m saying much too much,
whisper words to shut me up…
When I’ve failed and when I’ve sinned,
whisper words of pardon…
When I’m facing loss and grief,
whisper words of consolation…
When I’m stuck in my own foolishness,
whisper words of wisdom…
When I’m confounded and confused,
whisper words of counsel…
When I’m caught up in my lies,
whisper words of truth.
When life is just too tough to take,
whisper words of hope…
When my heart is broken, hurt and wounded,
whisper words of healing…
When I’m at war with my neighbor or myself,
whisper words of peace…
Slow me down, Lord,
and help me find a quiet place to hear
the whisper of your word…
Slow me down today, Lord,
and whisper a word or two – or more,
in the quiet of my mind and heart…
Amen. — Rev. Austin Fleming.

Today’s Reflection: Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next. Amen. – Serenity Prayer, Reinhold Niebuhr.

Today’s Reflection: May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us. — St. Teresa of Avila.

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