Back in 2007 as my refocus on my faith life was just starting, I was introduce to ‘the WORD among us’ monthly magazine that provides daily mediations and article for Catholics.
I have kept up a yearly subscription most years since then and find that they have easy to navigate reflections that fit well with the everyday living that we all are faced with.
May seems to be the month of the year that we are focused on discipleship, and the theme for this month is “Come, Follow Me … Walking the Narrow Path of Discipleship” .
Today’s Gospel reading is from John 15:18-21, “If the world hates you, realize they hated me first… and we are asked the question in the reflection, “How can we imitate Jesus in returning hatred with love?
Through prayer … ask the Holy Spirit to soften your heart so that you can love them with the love of your Saviour.
“Holy Spirit, give me the grace to love even those who hate me.”
We can be a force for unity in a divided world … and a divided family.
Check out this months article titled: The “Sword” of Division, We can work for unity.

May the “Force” (of peace) be with you … and with your spirit.
