Friday Focus: loving our communities

We are all very grateful for the loving relationships we experience yet we also need to ask the question: ‘Who is my neighbour?’ When Jesus was asked, he responded with the story of a beaten man, helped by someone who could have been his enemy (Luke 10:25-37). Think about the different communities you belong to locally, through your interests, and even online.

(Bishop Mark O’Toole, Bishop of Plymouth)

  • Pray: Lord, thank you for the communities to which I belong; for their strength and their challenges. Thank you for those who have been a Good Samaritan to me in the struggles and difficulties of life. Help me to see all people through your loving gaze, so that I am prepared to show your mercy to those in need. Amen.
