Reflection

“The arms of the Virgin, outstretched in prayer, continue to show us the importance of prayer as the message of hope which goes out from this shrine.”  ~ Pope Francis

Prayer

Loving God,

You reveal your love for us in numerous ways each day, from the bursting forth of beautiful flowers, to the gentle rains that water the earth, and the smiles and kindness of people we meet on the street. Your love for us gives us great hope through the challenges and struggles that we face each day.  Through this hope, we are able to envision a path forward, trusting that each step is guided by you.  In gratitude we pray. Amen.
