Jesus teaches us about a spiritual principle that shows how God’s grace grows in our hearts. May we take stock of what we are feeding our souls, mindful that whatever we encourage (good or bad) will grow.

The response from Psalm 85 offers a rich spiritual insight. As we seek intellectual truth with conviction we do so with a kindness toward one another that is honest and sincere. When both are present in our lives the glory of God shines out.

We see the compassion of Christ as he grieves over the hardness of human hearts. May the sorrow of Jesus soften us to seek His charity, healing and mercy.

The response of Samuel and Andrew shows us how we call upon the Lord in our moment of need and then share what we have received with those placed in our lives.

The healing miracle and revelation of Jesus as God are made possible through the selfless service of four friends who made the effort to help somebody in need. May their example inspire us to be somebody’s somebody today!

In this third part of the reflection on love from the First Letter of John, we see how our love for others reflects the love that flows from the heart of God. When we love one another we are acting on the Lord’s commandment and showing the world the face of Christ.

The First Letter of John offers a rich insight regarding how God’s love gives us the courage to face our fears.

Love finds its origin and power in God, for God is love. May we draw close to the Lord so that His love will overflow our hearts.

The first reading encourages us to cultivate the attitude of Christ as we humbly offer our lives out of love for one another.

The beginning of the St. Paul’s Letter to the Philippians gratefully acknowledges the power of God’s grace to empower and unite us together, offering a beautiful reflection for our lives today.
