6/23/2026 TUESDAY OF THE TWELFTH WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME

Good morning.

If there is one emotion that is written about the most, I would have to say it is LOVE.

We do not have to search long to find novels, short stories, cards and posters, heart shaped candy boxes, and let us not forget Feb.14th, St. Valentine’s Day.


And, oh, we sign off a letter or card with, “Love” . . .and then your name.
Carter Heyward, an Episcopal priest, theologian, and professor gives us our thought for the day. “Love is a choice – not simply, or necessarily, a rational choice, but rather a willingness to be present to others without pretense or guide. Love is a conversion to humanity – a willingness to participate with others in the healing of a broken world and broke lives. Love is the choice to experience life as a member of the human family, a partner in the dance of life.”

There is the 1955 movie called “Love is a many splendor thing.” and if we are old enough, we would have to say YES to that. But the word is used so often.

Peace and All Good,
Fr. Vinnie, fcm and the
Bros and Srs of the
Franciscan House of Prayer.
