New Person, Open Arms ❤️

You welcomed them with kindness! ✨

Scripture For Today: He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith.

Acts 11:24

She showed up at church alone this morning.

You saw her looking around, uncertain.

Something made you walk over and say hello.

Maybe you invited her to sit with your family.

Perhaps you offered to show her around after Mass.

Your kindness made her feel less alone.

Small acts of welcome change everything.

Today we honor Saint Barnabas the Apostle.

His name means "son of encouragement," and he lived up to it every day.

He saw the best in people and helped them belong.

Your welcome matters more than you know.

God uses friendly hearts to build His family.

Today's Prayer: Heart of Welcome

Help me see the lonely ones,

Standing lost among the ones.

Give me Barnabas's kind eye,

To notice those too scared to try.

When I see someone feeling new,

Help me know just what to do.

Make my heart a safe place,

Where strangers find Your loving grace.

Use my smile, my open hand,

To help lost people understand.

Amen.
