Have a Welcoming Heart
Let us resolve to be an example of Jesus’ welcoming love, accepting each person God puts at our side, especially those who are more easily excluded or marginalised by our collective social selfishness. The act of welcoming those who are different from us is the very basis of Christian love. It is the starting point, the first brick in the construction of the civilisation of love, of the culture of communion that Jesus is calling us to.

✝️ Prayer to Have a Welcoming Heart
Lord Jesus, You welcomed those the world left out. Forgive us for the times we turn away. Thank You for showing us the path of communion. Make our hearts wide and patient, that we may receive each neighbor without fear and love as You love, so that Your culture of communion may grow among us. Amen.
A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away
