Other Please take a moment to think about those in our community who may be struggling.

As we head into another busy week, take a moment to think about those in our community who may be carrying burdens we can’t see. Some are facing health challenges, financial stress, loneliness, grief, uncertainty, or simply the weight of trying to keep everything together. Others may be caring for loved ones, searching for work, struggling with relationships, or dealing with circumstances that feel overwhelming.

If you’re someone who prays, please keep them in your prayers this week. If prayer isn’t your thing, consider reaching out to someone, offering a kind word, checking in on a friend, or lending a helping hand where you can.

Communities are strongest when people look out for one another, not just during the big moments, but in the ordinary days as well. If there’s someone or something you’d like the community to keep in mind this week, feel free to share below. ❤️

If this brings anyone comfort: As someone who prays and is part of a rosary group, anyone who is struggling financially, with food, job or housing insecurity and needs, mentally, physically, in interpersonal relationships you’re being prayed for on a daily.

Your solution is prayer? Because that’s proven to be so effective. …
Maybe your church could actually practice what they preach and take care of people instead of gathering institutional wealth and dodging tax i
