Arming Myself with Grace and Compassion

Pope Francis recently met Spider-Man during the pope’s weekly audience at the Vatican. The masked man is Mattia Villardita, who dons the costume and visits sick children in hospitals. Mattia asked the pope to pray for the children and their families. “With great power comes great responsibility.”
“Our greatest power as nations and individuals is to arm ourselves with grace and compassion sufficient enough to love and save each other.” - Aberjhani, Splendid Literarium: A Treasury of Stories, Aphorisms, Poems, and Essays
Affirmative prayer:  Today, I render the love and compassion of an indwelling Spirit. I suit up and serve those placed in my way. I pray for their wholeness, seeing them as Divine expressions endowed with the qualities of God. Thank you, Infinite Presence, forever. Amen.
