One spiritual guide said: “The past is no longer yours; the future is not yet in your power. You have only the present wherein to do good.” Too often days pass by without us having made a positive impact on those around us. We become distracted by our own needs and things we want. It is more about us and less about others. See today as God’s special gift and a remarkable opportunity to spread goodness in whatever place and situation the Lord sends you. Do so by putting yourself at the service of your family and friends and our brothers and sisters in most need. Be charitable, forgiving, compassionate and virtuous. Use the present moment—this day—to spread goodness and to reflect the love of God to all you meet.
