Scripture, Reflection and Prayer 04/15/2009

I have planted and Apollos has watered. But it is God Who has given the increase.
- 1 Cor 3:6

Reflection: May prayers give wings to work, purify intentions, and be a defense against the longings of materialism. And my work in its turn lead to the refreshing encounter with God in which humanity rediscovers its primordial vocation and the true meaning of its existence.
- Pope John Paul II

Prayer: O Lord, teach me the balance between work and prayer. Help me to do my part in giving birth to the Kingdom of God, but let me also turn over to You that which only You can do.
