Reflection

“When one reaches out to help another, he touches the face of God.” –Walt Whitman

Prayer

God of my neighbor,

We all go through times and seasons when we search for you eagerly in the world around us. Yet you are not hidden from us. Remind us that our days are laced with sacred encounters, if we would but open our eyes and our hearts to them. Moments in which our service to others brings us face to face with your very own image and likeness. Liberate us today from any obstacle that would prevent us from seeing you in our neighbor. May we live into your promise that by serving them faithfully, with devotion and focus, we are at the same time serving you. Amen.
