Welcome Others • Sat.04.18.26

Real welcome is more than good manners. It is making room for people as they are, not as we wish they were.

Welcoming someone is more than being polite.

It means making room for people as they are, with their needs, their differences, and their struggles.

Jesus welcomed us first. That is how we learn to welcome others.

Today, we make space in our heart and in our actions for someone we might usually overlook.

Based on the Word of Life, December 1986, by Chiara Lubich, Servant of God.

✝️ Prayer to Welcome Others

Father, enlarge our hearts. Help us welcome others with the same love Christ has shown us. Amen.

A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away

Understanding Autism

Autism starts with awareness—but it grows into how we treat people every day.

World Autism Awareness Day & Week • April 2–8

Autism awareness begins on April 2 and continues through the week—but it does not stop there. It grows into understanding, patience, and real inclusion.

World Autism Awareness Day marks the start. The week around it gives space to live it out—not just to recognize autism, but to respond with clarity and respect.

Autism is a spectrum. People think, communicate, and respond in different ways. Some are quiet. Some are expressive. Some live independently. Some need ongoing support. But all deserve respect.

Awareness is not just knowing. It is how we treat people.

• We listen, even when words are few 
• We give space, not pressure 
• We choose understanding over judgment 
• We include, not isolate 

Not just this week, but beyond it, we move from awareness to acceptance. Not just knowing autism exists, but living in a way that makes room for everyone.

Because a better world is built on understanding.
