SOMETHING TO THINK AND PRAY ABOUT THIS WEEK
A Light Shines In The Darkness
There is much darkness in our world, many wildernesses to navigate in our society, our communities, and our relationships with one another. From time to time, someone comes on the scene to shine a light into that darkness. A mediator steps into a family feud, a young climate activist ignites a global movement, millions of young people become politically engaged, a mentor gives the right advice at just the right time, a friend makes a phone call that brightens up someone’s day, a community opens their hearts to refugees. We all experience wilderness in our lives at various times. When in these desert spaces, remember that God’s grace can come at any moment. Somewhere in the dark, a light shines that the darkness cannot overcome.

We remember at this time...
World Dignity Day reminds us that everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. This day encourages us to think about those in our lives who may feel disrespected, overlooked or unaware of their own self-worth.
Today is an opportunity to carry out a random act of kindness for someone we know or meet. God may place someone in our path who desperately needs to know they are valued and loved. We may find ourselves in the right place, at the right time to meet that need.
Lord, open our eyes and hearts to hear Your whisper, encouraging us to respond to Your call and be generous in reaching out to bless others. Amen!
