Reflection
“Martha, Martha, you are anxious and worried about many things. There is need of only one thing.”
–Luke 10:41-42
Prayer
God our source of life and hope,
In a world that gives rise to so much anxiety, worry, and concern, we need your accompanying spirit to keep us steadfast and focused on what matters most. Help us discern your voice above all the distractions, so that we may follow your will with courage, humility, and devotion. Inspire us to live each day more aligned with your truth and love, so that your compassionate ministry might be better extended through us to all those in need, especially those who are poor, dying, and underserved. Amen.
