Friday of the 4th Week in Lent
O God, who have prepared fitting helps for us in our weakness, grant, we pray, that we may receive their healing effects with joy and reflect them in a holy way of life. Grant this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, His Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever. Amen.
Daily Thought from the Saints
"The Divine Heart is an ocean full of all good things, wherein poor souls can cast all their needs; it is an ocean full of joy to drown all our sadness, an ocean of humility to drown our folly, an ocean of mercy to those in distress, an ocean of love in which to submerge our poverty."
— St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
Daily Scripture Verse
"For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, "Fear not, I will help you.""
Isaiah 41:13
Daily Meditation
"If during vocal prayer your heart is drawn to mental prayer, do not restrain it, but let your devotion take that channel, omitting the vocal prayers which you intended to say: that which takes their place is more acceptable to God, and more useful to your own soul."
— St. Francis de Sales
Dai by Day with Mary, the Mother of God
Hail holy Lady, most noble clean, Mother of God, and Mary ever virgin! You were chosen by the heavenly Father, who has been pleased to honor you with the presence of his most holy Son, and the divine Paraclete. You were blessed with the fullness of grace and goodness. Hail, Temple of God, his dwelling place, his masterpiece, his handmade!
— St. Francis of Assisi
A Prayer from Notre Dame University
Rev. Paul Kollman, C.S.C.
Jesus, Son of God the Most High, you live in intimate union with the Father, and you invite us to share in your life. May the fruits of our own baptism be more evident than ever these Lenten days, that we may celebrate Easter with unrestrained rejoicing. You live and reign with the Father and the Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.
