Be Careful Not to Focus on Yourself • Fri.12.26.25

Love grows when we choose others before ourselves.

Love grows when we step out of ourselves and take the first step toward others. Serving freely—even when it costs something—opens the heart to God’s presence. In this way, Jesus leads us into a deeper peace, a clearer light, and a joy that lasts.

Based on the Word of Life (May 1991) by Chiara Lubich

✝️ Prayer to Love Beyond Self

Lord, You came to serve. Forgive us when we turn inward and forget our neighbour. Thank You for inviting us to love first. Help us choose selfless love that brings us closer to You. Amen.

A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away

What Truly Lasts

What we give to others outlives us—it’s the quiet proof that love, once shared, never really dies.

When we live only for ourselves, everything ends when we do. But when we help others, something of us keeps living on—in their stories, in their strength, in the good that continues because we cared.
