Reflection

“Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.” –Simone Weil

Prayer

Attentive spirit,

The gift of attention is one of the sweetest offerings we can extend to others. To be present and attentive, eager to listen with our whole being to the person before us. Help us to honor the dignity of all your children by becoming more generous with our attention. May we see the people around us through your eyes, respecting them as the persons they are. As we extend your compassionate ministry today, help us respond to the goodness within every individual by giving them the gift of attention. Amen.

Call to Action

Commit and recommit today, as often as necessary, to give each person I encounter the attention they deserve.
