Today’s Reflection: The Gospel is just like fire: while it warms us with God’s love, it wants to burn our selfishness, to enlighten the dark sides of life, to consume the false idols that enslave us. — Pope Francis.

Today’s Reflection: Worth repeating – Take 5 minutes today to go outside and just sit still. Listen to the sounds you hear… maybe you’ll just hear cars, lawnmowers and radios… try to hear the sounds underneath that surface noise, the sound of the wind in the trees, birds singing and animals buzzing… take a moment to remind yourself about your connection to the earth and to all living things… how the trees will inhale our air and make it clean and healthy… how the rain will provide us with water and help to grow the food that sustains us…take a moment to be grateful for the air you breath, the beauty that surrounds you and the earth that provides us with nourishment and life… — Unattributed.

Today’s Reflection: May God the Father, who made us, bless us.
May God the Son, who redeemed us, send healing into our midst.
May God the Holy Spirit, who gives us life, move within us.
May God give us eyes to see to God, ears to hear God, and hands to bring God’s work into the world.
May we walk with God and preach the word of God to all.
May the angel of peace watch over us and lead us at last by God’s grace to the eternal Kingdom. — Prayer of St. Dominic.

Today’s Reflection: Something different from the ‘norm’ – Step over ants,
put worms back into the grass,
rescue baby caterpillars,
release spiders back into your garden,
open windows for bees to fly home,
they are all little souls that deserve a life too. — Author unknown.
