Reflection

“People who have faith in life are like swimmers who entrust themselves to a rushing river. They neither abandon themselves to its current nor try to resist it. Rather, they adjust their every movement to the watercourse, use it with purpose and skill, and enjoy the adventure.”
–Brother David Steindl-Rast

Prayer

Faithful God,

The pressures and challenges of the past few years have tested our faith in life. Many of us are exhausted, no matter how much we have tried to adjust to life’s current. The deluge has just been too much. We ask that today, you give reason for hope and joy once again. For all of us, give us vision to see how faithful you have been to bring us this far. Remind us that we are in this together with you and each other. Revive us in our common purpose and our faith in this life we have chosen—extending your healing to all. Amen.
