✨ To meditate on today

According to Saint Augustine, even before he could remember it, he was welcomed into the arms of God’s mercy, through the parents who received him at his birth. Today, think of those who welcomed and fed you when you were too small to remember, and thank them with a message or a prayer, or offer the same welcome to a child or a vulnerable person.
