\nHow will you share God\u2019s goodness and mercy today? Think of one concrete action through which you can be gracious on God\u2019s behalf to someone who is not related to you \u2013 and the watch for an opportunity to do it!<\/p>\n
\nMerciful God, whose goodness follows us all the days of our lives, soften our hearts towards others so that we may remind them of you through our actions. In the name and example of Jesus we pray, amen.<\/p>\n
