Today’s Reflection: By welcoming a marginalized person whose body is wounded and by welcoming the sinner whose soul is wounded, we put our credibility as Christians on the line. Let us always remember the words of Saint John of the Cross: “In the evening of life, we will be judged on love alone.” ― Pope Francis, The Name of God Is Mercy

Almighty God,
We thank you for the gift of this day.
Help us to never hide ourselves from you
And always be open to sharing your love and gifts
With the world around us.
Give us the courage and grace to follow you always
And to proclaim the light of the Gospels
With gentleness and hope.

Today’s Reflection: Prayer
I pray that our eyes may be open
To be one another’s keeper
To look out for the children of the world
Offer a kind word, a book, an encouragement
I pray that we may teach our kids to hope
To be kind, to love, to stand against injustice
And may we take time to accept what children offer us
The magic of hope and love
Amen. — Adapted from a poem written by Donna Akuamoah, United Methodist Women International Ministries

Today’s Reflection: Love consists of sharing
what one has
and what one is
with those one loves.
Love ought to show itself in deeds
more than words. —St. Ignatius of Loyola
