Let us pray that all parents who mourn the loss of a son or daughter find support in their community, and may receive peace of heart from the Spirit of Consolation. ~ Pope Francis, November 2024
Yesterday was the World Day of the Poor, a call to look closely, to see beyond statistics and truly recognise the humanity in those around us who are struggling. Poverty isn’t distant; it’s woven into our communities, often hidden yet present. We are called to stand closer, to listen deeply, and to let our compassion move us—not just for a moment, but as a steady, enduring commitment to justice and dignity for all.
God of compassion,
#Sundayblessings A reminder that authenticity creates space for others. When we show up as we are, we invite others to do the same, weaving a community where honesty and acceptance flourish.
