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

Remember the Gifts You Have Received • Wed.12.24.25

Our gifts become real when we use them to serve others.

Everything we are—and everything we can do—is a gift from God. He entrusts these gifts to us not for ourselves, but for the good of others. A Christian heart becomes authentic when it uses every ability as an act of service that builds the community.

Based on the Word of Life (June 1987) by Chiara Lubich

✝️ Prayer to Use Our Gifts Well

Lord, You fill our lives with gifts. Forgive us when we keep them unused or only for ourselves. Thank You for giving us talents meant to bless others. Help us serve with joy and generosity. Amen.
