Today’s Reflection: Jesus, as this new day begins, help us carry the joy of Easter into all we do. Let the hope of Your resurrection guide our steps, fill our hearts with peace and inspire us to share Your light with others. May we walk in faith, love boldly, and live with grateful hearts. — Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration

Today’s Reflection: Lord, thank you for the simple joy of a walk – for the rhythm of my steps, the breeze on my face and the quiet moments to breathe and reflect. Open my eyes to the wonders around me and my heart to the peace that comes with each step in your direction. — Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration.

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

Lord, as the first light of dawn paints the sky, I open my heart to you. May this day be a canvas for your grace, and may my actions be a reflection of your love. You have saved your creation. In mercy, grant us a day of peace and bestow forgiveness for our sins. — Bodmin Hermit

Dear Lord and Father of humankind, Forgive our foolish ways; Reclothe us in our rightful mind, In purer lives Thy service find, In deeper reverence, praise.
Drop Thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy peace.
Breathe through the heats of our desire Thy coolness and Thy balm; Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; Speak through the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm. — John Greenleaf Whittie
