This Day

Today’s Reflection

Bless us this day, And bless all we meet: the grieving friend, the laughing child, the stranger on the corner.

Fill our hearts with your light and let that light shine through us, bringing friendship and hope, peace and presence.

We are yours.

—Beth A. Richardson, “This Day,” in Christ Beside Me, Christ Within Me: Celtic Blessings (Upper Room Books, 2016)
