Rebuild / Rebâtir
Good Morning, St. Kateri Tekakwitha,
We can’t help but remember and be thankful for the healthcare providers, the essential workers, and the volunteers whose sacrifices contributed to the common good during our time of separation from each other over the last couple of years. They are like the “Three Sisters” – maize, beans and squash – which were planted together in the gardens of Indigenous people and whose plants supported and enriched one another as they grew.
“Rebuild the house of the Lord.” Ez. 1:3
“Qu’il bâtisse la maison du Seigneur.” Esd 1, 3
As we continue to look around our ever changing world, it can be overwhelming and cause us to lose sight of the light that Jesus Christ can fill us with. Let us pause and reflect on today’s sub theme: Rebuild / Rebâtir. We have the power to be creators of change and positivity. If you can demonstrate the ability to care for someone other than yourself, then you can inspire other people to care as well.
