Morning Offering: 03. 28. 22

Today’s Reflection: I am not alone. Why do I keep forgetting that? You see me, you know me! Every heartbeat mirrors your own. My every emotion finds a reference in you first. Give me the grace to entrust my fragile and often self-centered self to you, the God-who-loves-me. I surrender everything to you – even my most embarrassing vulnerabilities. Your grace is enough for me. — Monique Jacobs, spiritual director.

Today’s Reflection: Eternity is not what happens at the end of time, after we are dead. Every time we love and forgive then we have put a foot into eternity, which is God’s life. And that is why we can be joyful even on Good Friday, even in the face of suffering and death. — Timothy Radcliffe OP, in Seven Last Words.

Today’s Reflection: Prayer: Lord,
Give me news eyes to see you in all things.
Give me new ears to hear your voice, your comfort and commands.
Grant me new wisdom, understanding, and memory to put it all together,
and a heart soft enough to relish it.
Amen — David J. Herr, SJ

Morning Offering: 03. 20. 22

Today’s Reflection: May today there be peace within.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be confident knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of us. — Some attribute this to St. Therèse of Lisieux, others to St. Teresa of Avila. Regardless of author, it’s a work of beauty.
