Reflection

“The Gospel takes away our right forever to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor.” –Dorothy Day

Prayer

Unconditional Love,

How challenging it can be for us to live out your mission! We know we’ve been called to serve those who are poor, underserved, and dying. Yet if we are honest, we are all guilty at times of sitting in judgment of those who come through our doors. Forgive us. When we fail to embody your gospel fully, by holding back your compassion from those we deem undeserving… Renew us today by grace, as we renew our commitment to show your love and concern for all people, without condition or judgment. Amen.

Call to Action

Who do I find it easy to judge for being in a needful state? Take time today to release that sense of judgment and renew my commitment to serving all people without discrimination.
