Share the Suffering of Those Nearby • Fri.01.09.26

Real love stays close and carries the weight of another person’s pain.

Sharing suffering begins when we allow another person’s pain to enter our own space. It is not about solving everything, but about staying close, offering comfort, and responding as we ourselves would hope to be treated.

Based on the Word of Life (February 1998) by Chiara Lubich

✝️ Prayer for Compassionate Presence

Lord, we admit how quickly we pull away from what is uncomfortable. This truth humbles us. Yet we are thankful that You show us another way—one of presence and care. Teach us to share the weight of others’ suffering with patience and respect. Amen.

A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away
