Contemplation: The One I Love the Least

Jesus’ repeated question to Peter—“Do you love me?”—is meant to awaken in us the truth that love for God is shown through action, especially toward the poor in whom Christ is truly present. Love of God and neighbor are inseparable, and we must answer Christ’s call not just with words, but with deeds.

Contemplation: Not Our Help, but Our Hearts

True humility recognizes that all good comes from God, not from ourselves, and therefore we neither boast in success nor despair in failure, trusting instead in God’s will and timing. Our role is not to claim credit or control outcomes, but to serve with love, patience, and total confidence in Divine Providence.
