Reflection

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.”
~ Edith Wharton

Prayer

God of light and life, we all want to lead meaningful lives of purpose and significance. Fill us with the willingness to be the mirror reflecting your love and compassion. Give us the strength to sometimes be the candle whose light others reflect. Open our hearts and touch our ears that we might hear you calling us from darkness into the marvelous light of a better world and a worthwhile life. We pray this in your name. Amen.

Call to Action

What is one act I can perform today or one commitment I can make today through which I can be a mirror for the candle to spread light in my little corner of the world?
