Do we pay attention to how our actions affect the faith of others? Today’s readings invite us to support one another on our faith journey, focus on our growth rather than  judging others, and live out love in practical ways. In the first reading, St. Paul reminds us that our behavior influences those around us. When we live our faith sincerely, we inspire others to draw closer to God. We are urged to avoid actions that may confuse or harm others, causing them to stumble. The Gospel calls us to stop judging. Criticism distracts us from our own need for conversion. It is easy to point out the faults of others while ignoring our own. Instead, we are called to love. Love is not merely a feeling but a choice to do good, even to those who hurt us. We are called to be generous and are reminded that the measure we give is the measure we will receive. Today, God invites us to love freely and to give without expecting anything in return.

PRAYER: Abba Father, help us to live out our faith with love. Amen.
