Today’s Reflection: Prayer is sitting in the silence until it silences us, choosing gratitude until we are grateful, and praising God until we ourselves are an act of praise. — Richard Rohr

(Last of three reflections on silent prayer)
Today’s Reflection: Break My Heart
God,
I know you are out there,
waiting to break my heart open
through service to your people.
Show me how to find you in them,
to open my heart and hands to feel and to touch,
to laugh and to cry with your chosen ones, the poor,
who carry with them direct pathways to your loving heart.
Give me a taste for service
so that I too might desire more
and more.
Amen. — Author unknown

Today’s Reflection: Sublime Beauty
Dear God, please reveal to us
your sublime beauty
that is everywhere, everywhere, everywhere
so that we will never again
feel frightened.
My divine love, my love,
Please let us touch
your face. – St. Francis of Assisi

Today’s Reflection – God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference. — Serenity Prayer, attributed to Reinhold Niebuhr

Today’s Reflection: We Pray to You, O Lord,
Help us to honor our discomfort
And bring our confusion to You
Especially when we do not understand
Instead of sinking into ourselves
To remember our priorities and our call
to love and serve you by loving and serving others
Especially those often viewed as the lowest, the last, and the least
Amen. —Carl Caceres, SJ

Today’s Reflection: Pure prayer begins at the threshold of silence. It says nothing, asks for nothing. It’s a kind of listening. The deeper the listening, the less we listen for, until silence itself becomes the voice of God. — Stephen Mitchell

Today’s Reflection: Lord God, in the midst of all the darkness around us, at a time when we may find it difficult to see beyond the fear and uncertainty in our midst, help us to fix our eyes on you, knowing that you are here with us. Amen. — Jesuit Prayer team
