Reflection

“I have long since come to believe that people never mean half of what they say, and that it is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.” —Dorothy Day

Prayer

God of truth,

Our culture is filled with half-meant words and empty promises. Let it be different among us. May we embody your gospel in such a way that all those we encounter, and especially all those we serve, will know beyond doubt that we are people of integrity, who mean what we say and are doing our best to improve our shared well-being, as one human family. We’re not perfect and we often fall short but may the record of our actions speak for itself. For the life of the world, we pray. Amen.

Call to Action

Be intentional about putting the values and beliefs I say I care about into action. Talk less about them and do more to live them!
