Wednesday 5 November

Love is the true economy of our shared life; it repays every debt and restores the balance that rivalry unsettles. In the rush of the streets, love becomes the quiet rebellion—turning marketplaces and pavements into places of grace.
Romans 13: 8–10 (NRSV)

Thursday 6 November

No one walks alone in the great human neighbourhood; our stories are woven together through glances, greetings, and the silent prayers of strangers. Before God, every soul belongs within this vast web of life.
Romans 14: 7–12 (NRSV)

Friday 7 November

Faith takes root not in monuments or noise but in the small courages of daily life; a smile on the train, a hand offered to help, a word of peace. Renewal begins in the backstreets of compassion.
Romans 15: 14–21 (NRSV)

Saturday 8 November

Friendship consecrates the neighbourhood; names exchanged, laughter shared, burdens carried together. In these pockets of belonging—the cafés, doorsteps, and shelters—Christ builds his dwelling place among us.
Romans 16: 3–9, 16, 22–27 (NRSV)

Sunday 9 November

The foundation of our faith is not found in towers or temples, but in the lives we build together in Christ. The community itself becomes God’s workshop, every heart a living stone in his dwelling.
1 Corinthians 3: 9c–11, 16–17 (NRSV)

Monday 10 November

Wisdom speaks softly through the hum of the metropolis; in the bus queue, the hospital corridor, the laughter of children at play. God’s Spirit breathes through the ordinary pulse of human life, urging us toward truth and tenderness.
Wisdom 1: 1–7 (NRSV)

Tuesday 11 November

The noise of the streets fades, but life does not end there. Beyond loss and exhaustion, God shapes a new creation. Those who lived in love now rest in his radiance; their goodness becomes the unseen light of our communities.
Wisdom 2: 23–3: 9 (NRSV)
