Episode Synopsis

Today we explore the quiet, often-overlooked practice of acompañar—a Spanish word that means more than just "accompanying." It's about walking alongside others with intentional presence, without the need to fix or perform. In a culture that often prioritizes bold gestures and public wins, acompañar invites us into the sacred, everyday work of showing up—in silence, in slowness, in small, consistent acts of care. Drawing on everyday examples and the life of Jesus, this reflection challenges us to consider how we might embody this gentle way of being in our own lives. From a neighborly hello to sitting in stillness with someone in pain, acompañar reminds us that love is rarely flashy—but it is deeply powerful. This week, we're invited to notice where we're already walking alongside others, and where we might be called to lean in a little more. To learn more, visit https://originscommunity.com/.
