Daily Thought from the Saints

"If you wish to strengthen your confidence in God still more, often recall the loving way in which He has acted toward you, and how mercifully He has tried to bring you out of your sinful life, to break your attachment to the things of earth and draw you to His love."

— St. Alphonsus Liguori

Daily Scripture Verse

Romans 15:5-6

Daily Meditation

"God will forgive you if you ask him to. Though your sins be numerous as the grains of sand on the shore, God’s merciful forgiveness is far greater than your sins. Do not be afraid. Trust in his love. Repent of your sins without delay and return to the house of the Father. He is waiting for you. "

— Patrick Madrid

Daily Catholic Wisdom

We give glory to You, Lord, who raised up Your cross to span the jaws of death like a bridge by which souls might pass from the region of the dead to the land of the living. We give glory to You who put on the body of a single mortal man and made it the source of life for every other mortal man.

—St. Ephrem of Edessa

A Prayer from Notre Dame University

Rev. Andrew Fritz, C.S.C.

Father in Heaven, we stand before you today and ask for the grace to do your will. We await the hour when you will call out to those in the tombs and for the dead to hear your voice. Breathe new life into us, so that we may hear your voice and act in accordance with your will. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
