When a builder wants to construct a new home, they use a set of drawings, tools, materials, and equipment to complete the work. Today, we are called to build a heavenly home here on Earth. The tools we use for this type of construction include mercy, forgiveness, reconciliation, and love in action. Today, Father Pat McGrath asks us to reflect on how our individual efforts and labor of love can help to build God's kingdom, one act of kindness at a time.
