SOMETHING TO THINK AND PRAY ABOUT THIS WEEK
Living in Communion with others
Give us eyes to see the deepest needs in people’s lives.
Give us hearts full of love for our neighbours as well as for the strangers we meet.
Help us to understand what it means to love others as we love ourselves.
Teach us care in a way that strengthens those who are sick.
Fill us with generosity as we feed the hungry and give drink to the thirsty.
Let us be the healing presence for those who are weak and weary, by offering our welcome and kindness to them.
May we remember to listen and to offer a helping hand and heart, when the opportunity presents itself to us.
Give us hearts of understanding when we disagree, but let us never be disagreeable to one another.
Inspire us to go out of our way to include those who are unknown and unnoticed.
Help us to be inclusive to all who come to our door.
John Cullen, The Sacred Heart Messenger, August 2023
We remember at this time...
This week, we join people around the world in celebrating Global Dignity Day, a reminder that every single person has value. We are also encouraged to reflect on our own self-worth and recognise the dignity in others, no matter where they come from or what their story is. It’s a chance to pause and ask ourselves: Am I treating others with kindness? Am I listening with empathy? Am I showing respect, even when I don’t agree?
Let’s remember that dignity is about how we treat each other—with kindness, understanding, tolerance, and compassion.
“So God created humans in his image, in the image of God he created them” Genesis 1:27
