Strive for justice.
From today’s Scripture: “And the Apostles said to the Lord, ‘Increase our faith.”’The Lord replied, ‘If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, “Be uprooted and planted in the sea,” and it would obey you.’”—Lk 17:5-6
We remember Mother Cabrini today, the first US citizen canonized and patron saint of immigrants. She was a persistent servant of the poor. But you don’t have to be famous to be a servant. There are persistent men and women in every age. They see mustard seeds, tiny glimmers of hope, and imagine how a little can become a lot. They persist in service.
Let us pray: Lord, let me strive for justice in everything I do today. Open my ears, and my heart, to the needs, even the demands, of those who have less, to those who live in unjust situations.
Today’s author is Glenmary Father François Pellissier, who serves as visiting priest at prisons in South Georgia.
