Dr. MLK, Jr. said, “the time is always right to do what is right.” God provides this moment, and what is “right” can be realized through prayer and mindfulness. What “right” choices can you make right now in pursuit of God?

St. Ignatius reminds us that “love consists of sharing what one has, and what one is, with those one loves.” And that’s what’s offered to all of us, to take this right moment right now, and show love to others. This sharing means that we recognize the unique qualities, talents, and skills of others, we live alongside others, and we share power with others.  

So, as you notice your breath in this moment, say to yourself, “love right” as you inhale, and as you exhale, say to yourself, “right now.” Do this 10 times in this moment. 

Offer yourself this practice throughout the rest of January and beyond. Prayers for love, peace, strength, and wellness go out to you all.
