REFLECTION
What do you most enjoy about your relationships with persons to whom you extend compassion?

PRAYER
Welcoming One, draw me close to those who are marginalized when I want to keep my distance. Lead me into relationships with persons whom society pushes to the edge. Nudge me with your grace when I hesitate in extending hospitality to others.

SCRIPTURE TO CARRY IN YOUR HEART TODAY
“I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Mt 25:35)

Joyce Rupp in Boundless Compassion
