Today’s Reflection: Prayer to Love and Serve

Divine Creator, in our journey of faith and service, guide us with the spirit of “En Todo Amar y Servir,”
to love and serve in all things.

May our faith be not just words but actions,
as we walk the pilgrimage of life.

Grant us the strength to embody compassion, kindness,
and empathy in every step we take.

As we walk this sacred path, may our hearts be open
to the needs of others, our hands ready to serve,
and our souls filled with humility.

Bless us with the wisdom to see you in
every encounter and to spread your love to all.

Amen. – from Faith at Marquette
