It is precisely at times when we feel the weight of the world on our shoulders that we are called to trust in God and to practice compassion.

When we trust in God, we open ourselves to contemplative prayer and listen to his voice speaking to our heart. When we practice compassion we open our hearts to the joys and sorrows of others, and mirror the love of Christ—who loves with an infinite love.

Every day offers a chance to grow in trust, to practice compassion and all the virtues that make for a good life.

Every day offers the chance to surrender to God and walk with one another.

As we grow in trust and compassion, we shine as beacons of light and bring hope to all those we meet.
