New every morning is your love, great God of light, and all day long you are working for good in the world. Stir up in us desire to serve you, to live peacefully with our neighbors and all your creation, and to devote each day to your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Today's Reflection

THE SPIRIT ALSO sends us clues for our spiritual lives on a daily basis, not just when we are facing big decisions or major challenges. Attentiveness is a spiritual practice for every part and moment of our lives. Seeking God’s presence, finding our presence, looking to feed our souls, and being aware are all avenues that deepen our spirituality.

—Valerie K. Isenhower, Meditation on Both Sides of the Camera: A Spiritual Journey in Photography (Upper Room Books, 2012)

Today's Question
