Day 26: LOVE Daily Devotional

Cultivate love each day this week.
December 26: Love as Community

• Scripture: 1 Peter 4:8 – Above all, maintain constant love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins.
• Meditation: Relational love fosters healing in community. Following the holiday, who remains alone and isolated amoung your neoghbors? The impulse to reach out has passed, yet the need remains. Who requires connection? Who needs equitable care from our governing systems and institutions?
• Action: Reach out to someone who has been alone or isolated, or disadvantaged by social systems, and show love. The holiday is over, but the need for connection is deeper than ever.

The even greater blessing is our presence here together, as mirrors and magnifiers of each other’s light. “Whenever you give a blessing, a blessing returns to enfold you,” O’Donohue reminds us. – full article: https://www.themarginalian.org/2023/12/08/john-o-donohue-bless/
