Reflection

“You shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.” –Maya Angelou

Prayer

Giver of all that is good,

Life is all about giving and receiving, in freedom and love. Learning to acknowledge the gifts that have been so generously handed to us and then finding ways to pass those gifts on, especially to those who are most in need of them. Inspire us today, to open our eyes to those who are most in need of the gifts we possess, spiritually as much as materially. May we be willing and able to share all our gifts in freedom and love, so that those we encounter will be empowered in turn, to give something back for the common good. Amen.

Call to Action

Reflect today on the dynamic of giving and receiving in my life. Focus on embodying the virtue of generosity in everything I do and say.
