📜 Today in History & Heritage

• 1797: The first successful parachute jump was made in Paris — a leap of faith that reminds us how courage can open new horizons.

✝️ Christian Heritage & Reflection

Today, the Church remembers Saint John Paul II, one of the most beloved modern popes, who served from 1978 to 2005.He taught millions around the world to live in hope and not fear, saying:

“The future starts today, not tomorrow.”

Philippians 4:9 (KJV) reminds us:

“Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”

Agape love is not loud or showy; it is steadfast, patient, and full of peace. Like Saint John Paul II, we are called to be peacemakers — people whose quiet faith changes the world one heart at a time.

❤️ Today’s Agape Message: Love That Brings Peace

Today’s theme is Love That Brings Peace — because where there is love, there is calm.Peace doesn’t mean the absence of storms; it means trusting the One who calms them.

When we carry God’s peace, it touches everyone we meet — a smile in traffic, a kind word at work, or a prayer for someone in need.Peace begins inside our hearts and overflows through our words and actions.

💭 Reflection Thought:Is my heart at peace today — or am I holding on to something God wants me to release?

True peace begins when we surrender.

3. Pray for peace — in your home, your community, and the world.

4. Feed your soul — read one Psalm aloud before bed.
