In this week’s Second Reading, St Paul writes to the church in Thessalonica, “Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, as indeed you are doing.” (1Thes 5:11).

We live in a world where tearing one another down is far more common than encouraging and building up. The term “dog eat dog” comes to mind.

But we’re not dogs. We all are God’s beloved children. Each one special. Each one with our own set of unique gifts. Each one to be loved, encouraged, and built up as St. Paul told us.

Go in Peace. Serve the Lord.

Thanks be to God!
