Today’s Reflection: Lord, teach me to find moments of peace and relaxation amidst life’s busyness. Help me to let go of stress and to trust in your care. Grant me the serenity to rest and rejuvenate, knowing that true rest is found in You. — Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration

Today’s Reflection: Note – One of favourites, which explains why it repeats every now and then – 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.
Therefore I will trust you always,
though I may seem 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. —Thomas Merton

Today’s Reflection: Your Ways
I’m in awe of your ways, oh Lord
In me, You love and value what I don’t.
You gladly use what I want to discard.
If I see a dead end, You show me a path out.
If I’m blind, You make me listen.
If I’m deaf, You show me the truth.
When I rest, You visit my thoughts.
You lift me up when I’m humble and
tame me when I’m proud.
You frustrate my plans,
when I’m controlling
and help me advance
when I give You my trust.
You show me that love is the way
Because I was wounded,
I could help others heal
Because I was broken,
I could help others to mend.
Every time I feared to trust You
I was faced with your unrelenting love
You left me without arguments and excuses
and what was left was nothing more
but awe of your ways, oh Lord. Amen — Sindy Collazo

Today’s Reflection: Lord,
I want to ask you “Please let me see,”
but for some reason the words stick a little in my throat.
I think a part of me fears what you want to show me.
Will it be more than my mind and heart are prepared to take in?
Will you throw me a curveball I didn’t expect?
Help me Lord, to trust the voice deep inside of me
that knows you only wish to show me the magnificent things
possible with love and trust and hope in You.
Amen. —Gretchen Crowder

Today’s Reflection: But when through great generosity on our part we have emptied our lives of everything likely to raise a tempest in the heart, then Christ will sit at the helm and the waves may toss, the winds may roll and blow about the boat. We are calm. We have no cause to fear. Christ sits at the helm and rules. —Fr. Willie Doyle, SJ, quoted in the book, To Raise the Fallen

Today’s Reflection: Lord, give me your grace. On my own, I am, too, frail of faith to take the leap. It will take time. You wait. Hold my hand. I’ll get there. — Kathleen Sullivan

Today’s Reflection: Prayer
Today, Lord, I choose to believe in you
– not to try to go it alone –
but to believe in your loving care for me…
Today, Lord, I choose to trust in you
– not to stress out in fear and panic –
but to trust that you’re always right by my side…
Today, Lord, I choose to live by your Word
– not by my whims and fancies –
but by the wisdom and truth of your Word…
Today, Lord, I choose to walk your path
– following your map and not my own –
’til I find you within me as well as beside me… —Fr. Austin Fleming, excerpt from “Today I Choose”
