Dear Jesus,
Help me to become a more welcoming person.
At times, distractions, worries and fears get in the way
of appreciating others with their own joys and needs.
I may see them as an interruption or problem rather than as a person.
When I truly welcome them and give them my time, attention
and care, our relationship can blossom.
Guide me in Your way.
Amen.
— By Columban Fr. John Comiskey
