Reflection

“What happens when people open their hearts? They get better.” ~Haruki Murakami

Prayer

God of love,

Our hearts carry so much of what we experience—joy, sorrow, hope, and pain. In difficult moments, we often close our hearts, thinking it will protect us, but we know that healing comes when we open ourselves to you and to others. Fill us with your joy, that it may restore us from within and flow outward to bring joy to those we meet. In your grace, we pray. Amen.

 Call to Action

Look for someone today who may need a boost of joy in order to open their heart. Share some joy
with them.
