✨ To meditate on today
According to Saint Francis de Sales, in this meditation on creation, you did not exist a few years ago, and God drew you out of that nothing without needing you, out of pure goodness. Today, take a moment to look at your life as a gift you did not earn, and let this gratitude become a free act of kindness toward someone who cannot repay you.
