Reflect

This Sunday’s feast day honors the cathedral of the pope. But, more deeply, it also celebrates the Church as the body of Christ. You are a temple of the Holy Spirit. You carry the sacred within you. When Jesus drove out what did not belong from the temple, he invites us to do the same in our hearts. We honor holy spaces by becoming holy people.


Pray

Lord, cleanse the clutter from my heart.
Make me a dwelling place worthy of your Spirit.
Let my actions reflect the sacredness you’ve placed in me.
And may the Church not just be a place I go—but the people I love and serve.


Act

Visit your parish church today, even briefly. Offer a prayer for your local faith community to be renewed in holiness and love.
