Monday of week 11 in Ordinary Time
First reading 2 Corinthians 6:1-10
Each moment of our life is touched by the grace of God, quiet, generous, and always offered anew. Saint Paul reminds us not to let this grace pass by unnoticed or unused, for now is the favorable time, now is the day of salvation. Too often, we wait for the “perfect” moment to begin again, to forgive, to act with love, but grace is already present, calling us to respond now. To live with gratitude means recognizing that every breath, every opportunity to love or serve, is a divine gift. And to live that grace with love is to let it flow outward: in patience amid trials, in kindness when misunderstood, in steadfastness when things are difficult. The Christian life is not about occasional acts of piety but about allowing the grace we have received to shape every thought, every word, every step, with joyful perseverance and a heart open to God’s rhythm.
