Grace

In the morning, afternoon, and evening today, enter into stillness and be reminded that God dwells within you and animates you through the mystery of the Holy Spirit.

These days, compassion seems to be in short supply. In truth, now is when we need it the most.

Sometimes the demands that are placed upon us fuel expectations that mysteriously bind themselves to us. May this prayer inspire you to release the narratives and enjoy the gifts and grace of the day.

With reflection we can see links between past and present, the whole web of our lives shining with God’s presence. God knew exactly what we needed and provided it.

At age 58 in 1978, Pope John Paul II was still an avid skier, hiker, and swimmer. But over the next 27 years, age and health issues caught up with him—as they do with us all.

Humility is not a sign of weakness but a mark of true strength—a recognition of our own limitations and imperfections, and a willingness to serve others with grace and selflessness.
