St Charles Lwanga & Cc
Acts 20:17-27. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth – Ps 67(68):10-11, 20-21. John 17:1-11.
Acts of love matter
Faithful service isn’t always dramatic. It is lived out in the everyday choices we make. St Charles Lwanga and his companions gave their lives for Christ, but their courage also challenges us to stay faithful in our own struggles.
For Australian Catholics, this might mean sticking to our values in a workplace that pushes profit over people, showing kindness in a society that can feel indifferent, or keeping faith when life feels overwhelming. Parents serve through the daily sacrifices of raising children. Young people live their faith by standing up for what is right, even when it’s unpopular.
Like Jesus’ disciples, we are called to persevere in love, even when it’s hard. When we remain faithful through struggles, whether big or small, we witness to Christ in our families, parishes and communities. Service doesn’t always look heroic, but in God’s eyes every act of love matters.
