Consider journaling about these questions, or use them to spark discussion with a group of friends:

• Where are you avoiding sharing even the basics of Christian love with someone simply because he or she is different from you? Perhaps it’s a homeless person you see at the bus stop, or someone at work or in your neighborhood who is of a different ethnicity or speaks a different language. How might Mother Marianne’s example inform your next interaction with that person?

• Think about a situation where you feel like an outcast. Ask a priest or spiritual adviser for thoughts on how to embrace the Lord’s love for you and shed your worries about worldly rejection.

PRAYING WITH MARIANNE

St. Marianne, help me to find the courage and vision to see Christ in all those I encounter, regardless of my initial reaction to their differentness.

RESOURCES
