Holy Family –
… Let Christ shine through in all you say and
all you do!

Weekly
Reflection
Let us pray
…for all those who share their love of God with the poor in our community.
Loving God, in your kindness you have taught us the way to serve as you did.
Give us the courage and the wisdom to reach out to those in need in our
community. Give us the courage and the heart to provide food for those who are
less fortunate than us. Fill our mind with selfless thoughts in order that we
may come to the realization that it is not “all about me.” Bless us with the grace to imitate the
“widow” who truly gave what she could to help the poor. Amen
