How do we live as Christians in a world that often feels at odds with the Gospel? In today’s reflection for May 26th, Brother Edward discusses the feast of St. Philip Neri and a powerful message from the First Letter of St. Peter.
St. Peter challenges us not to retreat or "bunker in" from society, but to "gird our minds"—holding onto the truth of our salvation so that we can permeate the world with the love and faith of Jesus Christ. Join us as we explore what it means to live a life that radiates holiness in our ordinary, everyday communities.
📖 **Today's Highlights:**
- The legacy of St. Philip Neri and his service to the poor.
- Understanding St. Peter's call to "gird your mind."
