Daily Thought from the Saints

"Apart from the cross, there is no other ladder by which we may get to heaven."

— St. Rose of Lima

Daily Scripture Verse

"Teach me thy way, O Lord, that I may walk in thy truth; unite my heart to fear thy name. I give thanks to thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever. For great is thy steadfast love toward me; thou hast delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol."

Psalm 86:11-13

Daily Meditation

"The queen bee never settles in her hive without being surrounded by her swarm, and charity never takes possession of the heart without bringing in her train all other virtues, exercising them and bringing them into play as a general his troops. But she does not call them forth suddenly, all at once, nor in all times and places. The good man is like a tree planted by the water-side that will bring forth its fruit in due season, because when a soul is watered with charity, it brings forth good works seasonably and with discretion."

— St. Francis de Sales

Daily Catholic Wisdom

A Beatitude: Blessed is the one who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers.

— Psalm 1

A Prayer from Notre Dame University

Rev. Andrew Gawrych, C.S.C.

Lord, as we celebrate today the Feast of the Annunciation, help us to recognize the inherent value and dignity of every human life from natural conception to natural death so that we may use our gifts and talents to create a true culture of life in our country and in our world. Amen.
