Solidarity
"Carry each other's burdens."
— Galatians 6:2
God of solidarity,
I live in a world that values independence, individual success, everyone for themselves. But You call me to a different path: that of solidarity, of sharing burdens.
Open my eyes to the needs around me. Who carries a burden too heavy? Who needs a helping hand, a listening ear, support? Help me not to look away, not to pass by.
Give me the courage to offer my help, to share what I have, to make myself available. And also the humility to accept help when I am the one who needs it. We are made to walk together.
Amen.

Reflection
Solidarity starts small. Who in your circle could benefit from a gesture of support today? A call, a visit, concrete help?
For those who carry their burden alone and for those who could help them.
