Reflection

“A sober, humble lifestyle dedicated to service is worth far more than thousands of followers on social networks.” –Pope Francis

Prayer

Servant of All,

We spend more and more of our waking hours looking at screens and devices than the faces of neighbors, friends, and family. There are benefits from all our technology, but we see trade-offs as well. As we forge ahead as a culture on-line, give us wisdom and discernment to remember our principles and hold on to our values. Help us always to put people first and to serve them as you have shown us, with humility, dedication, and neighborly love. Amen.

Call to Action

When tempted to check my phone today during a break, choose instead to be present with those around me.
