Today’s Reflection: Into your hands, Lord, I place all the predicaments of my life. I will handle the ones that I can, and I trust you to handle the ones that I cannot.— Kenneth E. Grabner, C.S.C., in Focus My Day

Today’s Reflection: Jesus, sometimes I am bold in my trust in you, other times I am overwhelmed by outside fears. Reveal to me my own attachment to my fears and help me to boldly journey out to you on the waters. Keep calling me Lord, and save me when I fall. Make me bold, trusting in you alone. —Nathan Krawetzke, SJ

Today’s Reflection: Heavenly Father,
As You prune the branches of our lives,
Grant us the grace to yield to Your loving hand,
To surrender to Your will,
And to trust in Your divine plan.
In the pruning process, may we find renewal,
May we grow in love, compassion, and mercy,
And may our lives bear abundant fruit,
Reflecting Your glory to the world.
Amen.—Jackie Schulte

Today’s Reflection: The Work of Christmas Begins
When the carols have been stilled,
When the star-topped tree is taken down,
When family and friends are gone home,
When we are back to our schedules
The work of Christmas begins:
To welcome the refugee,
To heal a broken planet,
To feed the hungry,
To build bridges of trust, not walls of fear,
To share our gifts,
To seek justice and peace for all people,
To bring Christ’s light to the world. — by Michael Dougherty, a variation on Howard Thurman’s ‘When the Song of the Angels is Stilled’

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
