October Welcomes Autumn Time
Let’s get up every day saying: Good Morning, Good God
The Lord’s daily gifts are so many
The ones He invites us to share dwell within our humble spirits…
…kindness galore for everybody
…a wonderful listening heart of compassion
…respectful words to sow harmony
…being creative in living your prayer
Let our prayers be simple and life-giving
Try some Two-Word Heart Prayers:
Calm me
Still me
Settle me
Forgive me
Pardon me
Liberate me
Plant me
Root me deep
Enfold me
Embrace me
Trust me
Support me
Lift me up
Love me
Take care of me
Now…go out and do that for someone you meet today.
Just think of all our prayers being lived and how they decorate the tree of life with faithful leaves.

Anchors are a symbol of hope.
There are many things in our world that try our patience!
Yet, Jesus tells us to “never live without hope”
How do we do that?
Look and see ….inspiration is all about us in…
…special ed students who believe they can learn
…wounded warriors who play basketball from wheelchairs
…a poet who is blind sees the world through his faith-lived
…a holocaust survivor named Elie Wiesel writes about love
…the journalist Richard Engel writes about his young son Henry
who passed away and how Henry inspired deep love
Add some “hope” inspirations to your day and your hope will reflect….
…courage
…goodness
…peace
…harmony
I truly believe that in these times of unrest that our hope will help us to
find God …and there we will renew life for ourselves and for others.
Signs of hope are all around us…
…in caring for the earth better. (use less plastic)
…respecting differences
…helping one another ( Sr Ruth in College Point with her street helpers
not only giving food and clothing to people who are homeless but befriend
human people with dignity)
Hope is not born of wishing …it is born of prayer being lived.
When God is in our heart …hope is reborn again and again
Let’s be hopefilled people today. No matter what!
Hope will be the small light that believes…..resurrection happens again and again.
