Today’s Reflection: Short Prayer

Dear God,

If I stumble, lift me up.

If I wander, bring me back.

If I lose heart, fill me with hope.

If I feel defeated, give me the courage to keep going.

Let your light and love guide me. I trust you. 

Amen. — Author unknown.

Today’s Reflection: Today, let us pause for a moment.

Today, let us embrace moments of silence.

Today, let us be present in the present.

Today, O God, may we simply be. — Unknown

Today’s Reflection:  Lord Jesus,
You have run the race before us and conquered the cross with joy.
When we grow weary, strengthen our steps.
When we feel discouraged, lift our eyes to you.
Surround us with your great cloud of witnesses,
that we may run with endurance and faith.
Let us not fear the struggles of the journey,
but press on, knowing that you are our prize,
our victory, and our guide. Amen. —Benjamin Rogers, SJ

Today’s Reflection:  Lord help me to live simply,

To give my life and all I am

Into your hands.

Help me to unclutter my closet,

For I have too much stuff that takes me away

From your presence.

Help me to unclutter my calendar,

For I am often too busy to focus my attention on you.

Help me to unclutter my  mind

For I have too many unguided thoughts

That distract me from

Your instructions.— Christine Sine
