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.

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

Real life is found when we lose ourselves in giving love to others.
To Give Oneself
Jesus wants you to love others. If you follow His plan, you may “lose” yourself but find true life. Living for others is not weak or passive. A real Christian gives their best and takes responsibility.
Based on the Word of Life (July 1981) by Chiara Lubich
✝️ Prayer to Give Ourselves
Lord Jesus, You gave Yourself for us. Forgive our selfishness. Thank You for the life we find when we love. Make us generous and responsible so our daily work becomes true gift. Amen.
A prayer a day, keeps the soul from drifting away
