Morning Offering: 08. 02. 21

Today’s Reflection: Grant me, O Lord my God,
a mind to know you,
a heart to seek you,
wisdom to find you,
conduct pleasing to you,
faithful perseverance in waiting for you,
and a hope of finally embracing you.
Amen. — Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas.

Today’s Reflection: Serenity Prayer (long form) –
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that You will make all things right
if I surrender to Your Will;

So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You
forever in the next. Amen. – Reinhold Niebuhr.

Today’s Reflection: I share this one every now and then, never know who could use it: The OTHER Serenity Prayer – God, grant me the serenity to stop beating myself for not doing things perfectly, the courage to forgive myself because I’m working on doing better, and the wisdom to know that you already love me just the way I am. — Unattributed.
