Contemplation
“Christ bore our weaknesses and did not turn away from us in our frailty, but carried us as a shepherd carries his sheep. Therefore, those who are strong in faith must bear the weaknesses of others — not to judge them, but to help them grow in love. For the unity of the Church is built not by power, but by patience and humility.”
+ St. Cyril of Alexandria

Personal Reflection
When someone around you struggles or annoys you, how can you “bear with” them like Christ does?

Bible Knowledge Question
What does St. Paul say the “strong” should do for the “weak”? 

Prayer
Lord, You carried our burdens and loved us in our weakness. Teach me to bear with others patiently, to build them up and not tear them down. Fill my heart with peace, and unite me with my brothers and sisters in one mind and one spirit. May Your Holy Spirit fill me with joy and hope, that my life may glorify You always.
