Reflection for young people

Lord, you are the source of all life, drawing forth and giving us all we need to grow.
How often have I cut myself off from you.
I remember the times when I have thought I can do things better my way.
I remember the times I have refused to accept what you are offering me.
I remember the times when I have not accepted other members of your family.
I remember the times it has been easier to say you mean nothing to me rather than connect myself to you.
I remember the times I have treated my brother and sister with hate rather than with love.
