Keep your eyes on Jesus—He gives courage to start again.

Keep Your Eyes on Jesus

Discouragement fades when we look at Jesus, especially when He seemed most alone on the Cross. He gives courage to start again after failure and strength to keep going with hope.

Based on the Word of Life (August 1986) by Chiara Lubich

✝️ Prayer to Persevere

Jesus, Crucified and Forsaken, fix our eyes on You. Forgive our lack of courage. Thank You for lifting us up after every fall. Give us faith to begin again and strength to keep walking in Your love. Amen.

A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away

The Girl I Am, The Change I Lead

Every girl can make change—by helping, caring, and believing she can make the world a little better every day.

International Day of the Girl Child • October 11, 2025

The world can feel messy sometimes—climate problems, people arguing online, fake news, too much pressure. But even in all that noise, many girls are doing amazing things.

Some help classmates understand lessons. Some speak up when something’s unfair. Some take care of their families, help clean the community, or share kind messages online. These girls may not wear capes, but they’re real heroes in quiet ways.

That’s what this year’s theme means: “The girl I am, the change I lead.” It’s about knowing who you are, being proud of it, and using your own voice to make things better. You don’t have to wait to be older or richer or famous—you can start now, right where you are.

Because real change doesn’t always start in big meetings or parades. Sometimes, it starts with one girl who says, “I can help.”
