The late-night workers,
The ones who make our lives easier every day. – Mindful Christianity

Today’s Reflection: Lord,
When we stumble and fall, lift us up.
When nothing seems sure, give us trust.
When we lose our way, be our guide. – Author unknown

Today’s Reflection: Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem demonstrates that true kingship is marked by humility. By riding on a donkey, He showed that God’s power is expressed in gentleness. We are reminded that welcoming Christ into our lives means laying down our pride and seeking to serve others with compassion. – Catholic prayers for Palm Sunday

Today’s Reflection:
Lord, help me to live this day, quietly, easily.
To lean upon your great strength, trustfully, restfully.
To wait for the unfolding of your will, patiently, serenely.
To meet others, peacefully, joyously.
To face tomorrow, confidently, courageously. – A Prayer of St. Francis

Today’s Reflection: Prayer In Times of Confusion
I bring myself before you, Lord,
shadowed by uncertainty
and pulled in countless directions.
I see no clear way forward,
no neat solution,
no easy resolution.
Did you doubt when
your disciples did not understand you?
Did you question yourself when
the authorities questioned you?
Did you hesitate when
others asked what seemed more than humanly possible?
Did you feel fear when
you prayed in the garden?
When you breathed your last on the cross?
In the chaos of my life, Lord,
allow me to feel your presence.
Let me sense your Spirit
as it knits,
as it mends,
as it heals,
as it makes all things new.
Grant me the courage and patience
to abide with you in the garden,
to stay with you at the cross,
to hold fast to you in darkness.
Despite my doubts,
give me the grace to trust in you
and to say with you:
“Not my will, but yours be done.” — Rev. Ryan Duns, S.J.

Morning Offering:
I will never fear,
For you are ever with me,
And you will never leave me,
To face my perils alone. – Thomas Merton

Today’s Reflection: St, Augustine’s Powerful Prayer For Bravery
God of our life,
There are days when the burdens we carry
chafe our shoulders and weigh us down;
when the road seems dreary and endless,
the skies grey and threatening;
when our lives have no music in them,
and our hearts are lonely, and our souls have lost their courage.
Flood the path with light, turn our eyes to where the skies are full of promise;
tune our hearts to brave music;
give us the sense of comradeship
with heroes and saints of every age;
and so quicken our spirits that we may be able to encourage
the souls of all who journey with us
on the road of life,
to your honor and glory. Amen. — St. Augustine
