Thought for the Day

Do not fear what may happen tomorrow.

The same loving God who cares for you today

will care for you tomorrow and everyday;

God will either shield you from suffering or

will give you unfailing strength to bear it.

Be at peace then, and put aside

all anxious thoughts and imaginings.

- - - St. Francis de Sales

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Mother Teresa of Calcutta was once asked
how she could continue to work in situations
of irrevocable hunger and suffering.
"God calls us to be faithful," she said, "not successful."

- - from Gerald G. May, M.D. in Care of Mind, Care of Spirit, p.124.

Prayer for Today

In sacred times of word, wonder, and awe,
in ordinary days of work and play:
in every moment, God is with us.
Whether we are stuck in doubt's mud,
or standing on faith's shoreline:
in every place, God is with us.
In those who teach us
and those who trouble us;
in those who surprise us,
and those who forgive us:
in every person, God is with us.

-Thom Schuman

FOOD for THOUGHT

"There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think"
