Called to Serve

Reflect

In the Gospels, Jesus is frequently depicted serving others, whether feeding the multitudes, healing the sick, or washing the feet of his disciples. Our faith calls us to follow Christ’s loving example of service.


Pray

Dear Jesus,
I see so much
suffering and poverty
in the world,
and sometimes I feel powerless
to do anything about it.
I humbly ask you
to give me the strength
and courage
to get outside of myself
and tend to those in need,
even if it’s in small ways.
May your gentle hand
steer me toward the sick
and the poor in spirit
so that I might comfort them.
Amen.
