Today’s Reflection: Heavenly Father, grant us the grace to walk through life’s winding paths with hearts anchored in you. Kindle in us a spirit of trust, that we may surrender our fears to your providence and see your hand at work even in our darkest moments. In everything we do, may we glorify you and draw closer to the fullness of your eternal embrace. Amen. — Ryan Serfas, SJ

Today’s Reflection:  God,
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.
—from the Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr

Today’s Reflection: Let me seek, then, the gift of silence, … and solitude,
where everything I touch is turned into prayer:

where the sky is my prayer,
the birds are my prayer,
the wind in the trees is my prayer,
for God is all in all. —  Thomas Merton

Today’s Reflection:  A Prayer

Please, Lord,

Keep calling me back to You,

By  day or by night,

In joy and in sadness,

During moments 

Of success and moments

Of failure.

Never let me leave you. —  Henri Nouwen

Today’s  Reflection: A Prayer for Inner Peace

Lord, please put Your peace in my heart.
I’m worried and anxious.
My mind races and obsesses.
I can’t help thinking about my problems.
And the more I think about them,
the more depressed I become.
I feel like I’m sinking down in quicksand
and can’t get out.

Calm me, Lord.
Slow me down, put Your peace in my heart.

No matter what problem I have, Lord,
You are bigger,
You are more powerful than it is.
So I bring my problem to You.

I know what I want.
I know my will.
I do not know Yours.
I do not know how You will use this problem for my salvation.
I do not know what good You will work out from this evil.
But I trust You.
I trust Your goodness and Your wisdom.
So I place myself in Your hands.
Please fill my heart with peace.— Author Unknown

Today’s  Reflection: Lord,
I crave certainty. I need proof. I want evidence.
Yet, you are already here, moving in ways I cannot always see.
Help me to trust in your presence, even without evidence.
Open my heart to faith that does not need to be measured or recorded – only lived.
Amen. — Jackie Schulte
