✝️ Tuesday – Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time
Never underestimate the small things you do for God. Like the mustard seed, even the smallest acts of faith can grow into something extraordinary.
🙏 Today, let’s pray for the grace to remain faithful in the little things, trusting that God is working in ways we cannot yet see.

✝️ Monday – Thirtieth Week in Ordinary Time
Jesus saw a woman who had suffered for eighteen years, and He stopped to heal her. Sometimes the greatest act of love is simply noticing someone others have overlooked.
🙏 Today, let’s pray for the eyes of Jesus, to recognize those who are suffering and the compassion to reach out, even when it’s inconvenient.
