Strength to serve

January 30

“Let us desire and be occupied in prayer not for the sake of our enjoyment but so as to have this strength to serve... Believe me, Martha and Mary must join together in order to show hospitality to the Lord and to have him always present and not host him badly for failing to give him something to eat. How would Mary, always seated at his feet, provide him with food if her sister did not help her?”

-St. Teresa of Avila

Today’s Reflection:

How are prayer and service united in your daily life? In what ways might the Lord be inviting you to deepen your prayer so that your work, responsibilities, and acts of service become more fruitful?
