Today’s Reflection: For every fear that shakes your peace, For every night you feel alone, For every moment you lose a little hope, There is an angel who whispers, ‘I am here.’ – Unattributed.

Today’s Reflection: We praise you, Lord, for all your creatures,
especially for Brother Sun,
who is the day through whom you give us light.
And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendour,
of you Most High, he bears your likeness.
We praise you, Lord, for Sister Moon and the stars,
in the heavens you have made them bright, precious and fair. — excerpt of Canticle of the Sun, Saint Francis of Assisi, whose feast day it is today.

Today’s Reflection: I never tire of reading this, nor sharing it — My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following Your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please You does in fact please You. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that, if I do this, You will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust You always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for You are ever with me, and You will never leave me to face my perils alone. Amen. — Thomas Merton.

Today’s Reflection: May the God of gentleness be with us, caressing us with sunlight and rain and wind. May God’s tenderness shine through us to warm all who are hurt and lonely. May the blessing of gentles be with us. May the God of wonder be with us, delighting us with sunrise and sunset, enchanting our senses, filling our hearts, giving us wide-open eyes that we may see the splendor in both the humble and majestic. — Catholic prayer site.

Today’s Reflection: Show me your face, O Christ.
Bless me with encounter.
Reveal your glory in my tea, in my work, in my Bible.
May I proclaim your nearness,
Your story, which is also my story.
Let me live in you and you in me.
Amen. — Andy Otto.
