Reflect
In episode 4 of Franciscan Media’s Off the Page podcast, Sister Ilia Delio, OSF, discusses her book, The Humility of God: A Franciscan Perspective and the practical implications for a theology rooted in God’s humility.
Pray
Lord, you bent low, becoming human in the frail, vulnerable body of an infant.
You became human.
Who am I to judge another human?
You became small.
How could I turn a blind eye to the lowly?
You took on human suffering.
How could I not enter into the pain of others?
Act
If God’s trajectory is to “descend” and enter into human suffering, what does it look like for us to mirror this same trajectory with our lives? Consider this divine path of descent as you open your heart to listen to others and be with others today.
