Today’s Reflection: PRAYER – Loving God, please grant me peace of mind and calm my troubled heart.
My soul is like a turbulent sea. I can’t seem to find my balance so I stumble and worry constantly.
Give me the strength and clarity of mind to find my purpose and walk the path you’ve laid out for me.
I trust your Love, God, and know that you will heal this stress. Just as the sun rises each day against the dark of night.
Please bring me clarity with the light of God. In your name I pray. Amen. — Author unknown Morning Offering is a daily post by Joe Barkovich, who lives in his hometown of Welland, Ontario. Daily photo by Joe Barkovich. Morning Offering is posted by 8 a. m.

Today’s Reflection: Carry out God’s commandments in what you do every day. Embrace chastity. Hate no one. Do not be jealous or give in to feelings of envy. Do not take pleasure in disputes.

Before the day’s end be reconciled with anyone with whom you have a disagreement. Never despair of God’s mercy. — St. Benedict of Nursia from The Rule of St. Benedict.
