Nobody escapes being wounded. We are all wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. The main question is . . . ‘How can we put our woundedness in the service of others?’ When our wounds . . . become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers. ~ Henri Nouwen

Today’s Reflection: Patience
Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it. ~ Tagore
Today’s Reflection: Family Life
The perfect family doesn’t exist, nor is there a perfect husband or a perfect wife, and let’s not talk about the perfect mother-in-law! It’s just us sinners. A healthy family life requires frequent use of three phrases: “May I? Thank you, and I’m sorry” and “never, never, never end the day without making peace.” ~ Pope Francis

A joyful heart is like the sunshine of God’s love, the hope of eternal happiness. ~ Mother Teresa

This country will not be a good place for any of us to live in unless we make it a good place for all of us to live in. ~ Theodore Roosevelt
Today’s Reflection: Respect
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves. ~ Abraham Lincoln
