“Be gentle to the weak, firm to the stubborn, steadfast to the proud, humble to the lowly.”
–St. Columbanus

Prayer

Holy Love,

We celebrate the life of St. Columbanus today, whose passion for ministry inspires our own, that we might become as bold in our convictions and as eager to embody your love for the world. May we follow this trailblazing saint and walk in his footsteps, becoming all things to all people: gentle, firm, steadfast, and humble. For the good help of all those we have the privilege of serving, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Before every encounter today, remind myself to be sensitive to the feelings of the one with whom I am speaking.
