Twenty-Second Wednesday of Ordinary Time

We always give thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, for we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and the love that you have for all the holy ones because of the hope reserved for you in heaven.

When we witness someone living out the faith, we should not be shy about it. We should let them know they are doing good and we are praying for them. It might not be something we think about, but just as we pray for those in need, so too should we pray for those who are doing God’s Will. Those who minister to people also need spiritual support to sustain them in their good works. Our words of encouragement can make a world of difference in the lives of those who spend themselves in knowing, loving, and serving others because it lets them know they are making a difference and are appreciated for manifesting the faith for all to see.

Do we actively support those who are doing God’s Will? What can we do to encourage them and help them to grow in holiness? How can we help others to know, love, and serve God and His children?

O Lord, thank you for those who live holy and loving lives.

Amen.
