Serving Others

Reflect

Laura Montoya Upegui (1874-1949) had risen to be a Colombian school’s deputy director despite her own humble beginnings. Her faith had sustained her, and led her to work among indigenous people north of Medellína controversial ministry at the time for women. But Laura knew God loved those in the jungle, and that was all that mattered.


Pray

Father,
may I never forget
my beginnings,
or those of my ancestors.
May I always serve others
heart to heart,
soul to soul,
knowing we are all beloved by you.
