Closeness Builds Family • Mon.02.16.26

Love starts where we already belong. It grows when we choose patience at home and in school.

It is easy to speak about loving everyone. It is harder to love the people we see every day.

Family, classmates, teammates, parish friends—this is where love begins.

If we cannot be patient and kind here, our love remains a slogan.

Today, we begin close to home. We choose respect and patience with the people already beside us.

Based on the Word of Life, May 1985, by Chiara Lubich.

✝️ Prayer for Our Family and Community

Lord, help us love the people nearest to us with sincerity and patience. Teach us to build unity where we already belong. Amen.

A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away
