Do Not Be Indifferent Toward Others • Thu.01.08.26

Love begins when we refuse to ignore the needs right in front of us.

Indifference is never neutral. When we remain passive in front of another person’s need, we quietly step away from the way Jesus loves. Love that is lived leaves no room for neglect, ranking, or quiet exclusion.

Based on the Word of Life (November 1985) by Chiara Lubich

✝️ Prayer to Remain Attentive

Lord, we recognize how easily comfort dulls our sensitivity to others. This awareness unsettles us. Still, we are grateful that You continue to place real needs in front of us each day. Awaken our hearts so love does not stop at intention but moves us to act. Amen.

A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away

January: Bible Month, Brain Full. Heart Empty?

We don’t lack Bible readers. We lack Bible living.

January is called Bible Month in the Philippines. Supposedly a reminder. But reminder of what, really? That we stopped reading the Bible? Not exactly.

Some of us never stopped. In fact, some of us already memorized it. Verses, numbers, context, all stored neatly in the brain.

But that’s kind of the problem.

The Bible made it to our head, but not always to our heart.

The issue isn’t unread pages. It’s unchanged behavior. We can know Scripture and still be impatient, unkind, proud, or harsh. Knowing the verse doesn’t automatically mean living it.

So maybe Bible Month isn’t about reading more chapters. Maybe it’s about actually living one verse properly. Just one. On an ordinary day.

Because the Bible was never meant to be something we show off. It’s meant to mess with our choices a bit. How we react. How we treat people when no one’s looking.

If it stays in the brain, it becomes information. If it reaches the heart, it becomes life.

And honestly, if Scripture is really lived, we wouldn’t need to be reminded once a year.
