Yes, it is still baseball season, and the playoffs are here!
The pursuit of victory and thrill of achievement are good things we all strive for—on the field, at work, and in life. Although winning rightly excites us, it is the way we play that defines who we are. The effort, discipline, teamwork, and even setbacks all play a role in helping us grow.

Jesus says, “Give to the one who asks of you.” Our Lord challenges us to be loving and responsive to our brothers and sisters.

Jesus prayed, “that they may all be one.”
It is a prayer that still echoes today—for our families, our communities, and our world so often marked by division.
