The Communion of Believers

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."

— Matthew 5:8

Heavenly Father,

I think of all the believers who preceded us. These ordinary people who lived extraordinarily, who let Your light shine through their lives.

Thank You for this communion of believers. For their example that inspires me, for their testimony that supports me, for this mysterious bond that unites us beyond death.

May I journey toward a holy life in my own daily existence. Not an impossible perfection, but a life of authentic love, humble service, trusting faith.

Amen.

Reflection

Holiness is not reserved for a few. How can you live holy in your daily life?

For all witnesses of faith and for our own path toward holiness.
