Reflection

“There was no needy person among them, for those who owned property or houses would sell them, bring the proceeds of the sale, and put them at the feet of the apostles, and they were distributed to each according to need.” —Acts 4:34-35

Prayer

O Holy Mystery of Love,

The work of St. Elizabeth reminds us of our call to give of our whole selves. Caring for the least of our brothers and sisters even when it is difficult or causes us discomfort. Recommit us today to serve you earnestly. With our hands, our eyes, our thoughts, and our hearts. Amen.
