Thérèse described a little way of trust and love through ordinary actions. Carlo Acutis brought faith into a young person’s life of interests, friendships and service. Neither life makes holiness a competition for attention. Their different circumstances invite us to ask how we can love where we already are.

One detail I noticed and one question I want to ask

What is one detail from the reading, and what is your interpretation of it?

My next step: what I will do, when, and what help I need

Closing prayer

God of everyday life, help us notice the people beside us. Teach us to use our time and gifts with love. Amen.
