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: Morning Prayer 

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

Today’s Reflection: Prayer for Peace and Calm

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

Today’s Reflection: Morning Prayer

In a world which often lauds

power rather than peace,

and greed rather than generosity,

you call us, Lord, to stand

not with oppressors and bullies,

but with those who face injustice.

Strengthen our resolve,

as people of your kingdom,

to pursue the peace you offer.— Bill Braviner, Anglican Archdeacon of Halifax (UK)
