QUOTE OF THE WEEK
“Heads that are filled with knowledge and wisdom have little space
left for conceit.”
A PURPOSEFUL LIFE
At Pentecost, Jesus sends the Holy Spirit as our
helper, but we cannot forget we have been given
each other to lean on as well. The Holy Spirit moves
over, around, and in us. Along with this spirit, we
can be strong and stand together. Faith in God
and each other will show us the way.
Human beings need Jesus’ helper. We also
need community and to rely on one another.
You might think — “What can I do? I don’t have
anything to offer.” Often we do not realize our
value because we don’t think the little we have is
good enough. How wrong we are! You never know
the full impact of your smallest gesture. Don’t
underestimate the value of the smile you give
someone, the door held open for another, the
listening ear offered to someone who was lonely
or angry, the meal you shared with another, and
the patience you showed when one was confused.
Modest gifts offered with love can be simple
blessings and brighten another’s day.
The smallest pebble still makes a ripple in the
water, and a gentle breeze leaves its mark as well.
Whether you are a pebble or boulder, a breeze
or gusty wind, you make an impact. Your life
has purpose whether you realize it or not.
Remember in Your Prayers (all those affected by the coronavirus
throughout the world.)
Compassionate and Loving Father,
In the face of confusion and concern Impart to us the calm of Your presence.
In You allow us to find hope and healing.
Be with those who serve the sick and
give them Your caring hand.
Be with those who lead and give them Your spirit of wisdom.
Be with those who have fallen ill and
give them Your comforting heart.
Wrap Your arms around our world and hold us in Your love.
Allow us at this time of trial to then
serve as instruments of that love to all we meet.
We ask this in Your name. Amen.
