Memorial of St. Irenaeus, Bishop and Martyr

Reflection

“The glory of God is a human being fully alive; and to be alive consists in beholding God.” ~ St. Irenaeus

Prayer

O God,

You called St. Irenaeus to proclaim the truth of your love, your mercy, and your peace. Grant, we pray, through his intercession, that being renewed in faith and love, we may always be intent on fostering unity and solidarity. We pray in the name of the God who is the source of all. Amen.

Call to Action

What one action can I take, or what one commitment can I make today, to foster unity and solidarity in a time of such great divisions between people?
