REFLECTION
“Suffering can create an opening, the space, in the psyche’s structure that allows self-transcendence, that allows the release of our own Essential splendor” (Kathleen Dowling Singh, The Grace in Dying).
How have your sufferings changed you?” How have they been catalysts for compassion?

PRAYER
Peace before me. Peace behind me. Peace under my feet. Peace above me. Peace within me. Let all around me be peace. (Adapted from the Prayer of St. Patrick)

SCRIPTURE TO CARRY IN YOUR HEART TODAY
“God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us” (Rom 5:5)

Joyce Rupp in Boundless Compassion
