Your Monday Hug Devotion for February 17, 2025: Celebrating Others

Celebrate Joy on Your Spiritual Journey: Your Monday Hug Devotion

Welcome to this week’s Monday Hug Devotion! Let’s reflect on the joy that comes from celebrating and encouraging others.

Spiritual growth isn't only about personal reflection - it can also be nurtured through simple acts like using a pocket rosary for both personal reflection and sharing joy with others - it's also about spreading kindness and lifting others up. When we pause to recognize someone’s victories or share a simple word of encouragement, we sow seeds of joy and hope. Small gestures - like a warm smile, a kind word, or a thoughtful prayer - can have a powerful impact on someone’s heart.

In today’s video, you’ll find:

• Encouragement to bring joy into your faith journey by celebrating others
• Ways to create connection and warmth through kindness
• Simple practices to cultivate a spirit of gratitude and generosity

After watching, consider praying the rosary or journaling about someone you can uplift this week.

Celebrating Others

Do not withhold good from those who deserve it. - Proverbs 3:27

Do you delight in the victories of others? You should. Each day offers opportunities to encourage others and to praise their good works. When you do so, you spread seeds of joy and happiness.
American poet Ella Wheeler Wilcox advised, "Talk happiness. The world is sad enough without your woe." Her words ring true. Yet all too often, we allow ourselves to become so overwhelmed by the demands of daily life that we forget to "talk happiness" to our family members and friends.
Life is a team sport, and all of us need occasional pats on the back from our teammates. So be cheerful, with a smile on your face and encouraging words on your lips. By blessing others, you'll also bless yourself. And when you do, God smiles.

"As you're rushing through life, take time to stop a moment, look into people's eyes, say something kind, and try to make them smile!" - Barbara Johnson
