September 5

“Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush, anxious for greater developments and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption of peace of the world.”

-St. Teresa of Calcutta

Today’s Reflection:

Covid-19 has changed many things. It seems like God was forcing us to spend more time together and slow down.

In light of this, how is your family structure operating? Are you still rushed? What do your interactions with your family and friends look like? Do you enjoy the moments together, or are you hurried, thinking of what comes next? Are there changes you could make to slow down for God and your family?

St. Teresa of Calcutta, on this your feast day, pray for us!
