BLESSING OF THE DAY - May you be made holy when you know failure, when the object of your dream eludes you or your hopes dissolve in mistakes or shortfalls. May you learn resilience in letting go and hope in giving over to a God who knows you well and loves you. May you know the eagerness of God to embrace you and to guide you into fresh perspectives and new ways to minister to those around you. May you give yourself the gift of compassion and may the God of Resilience bless you. --Maxine Shonk, OP
