Channeling God’s Goodness

Murray Bodo, OFM, suggests that people can channel God's love to others through small, everyday actions. In a reflection published by Franciscan Media, Bodo notes that God's presence is constant regardless of a person's circumstances.

Bodo includes a prayer asking for the ability to act as God's presence in the world by using one's hands to support others, one's voice to comfort, and one's eyes to radiate hope. He encourages readers to make a commitment to perform simple gestures, such as smiling at the next person they see, to potentially make a difference in someone else's life.
