Daily Thought from the Saints
"Even when God's will does not correspond to your own desires, it is always beneficial for you."
— St. Arnold Janssen
Daily Scripture Verse
"I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingly power: proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient; convince, reprimand, encourage through all patience and teaching."
2 Timothy 4:1-2
Daily Meditation
"I believe we shall never learn to know ourselves except by endeavoring to know God, for, beholding His greatness we are struck by our own baseness, His purity shows our foulness, and by meditating on His humility we find how very far we are from being humble. Two advantages are gained by this practice. First, it is clear that white looks far whiter when placed near something black, and on the contrary, black never looks so dark as when seen beside something white. Secondly, our understanding and will become more noble and capable of good in every way when we turn from ourselves to God: it is very injurious never to raise our minds above the mire of our own faults."
— St. Teresa of Avila
Daily Catholic Wisdom
Men, this is Christlike authority. It is not chest-thumping domination. It is not forcing others to submit to your needs and wants. Christlike authority is the exact opposite—it is washing others’ feet. It is servanthood.
—Sam Guzman
from his book, “The Catholic Gentleman”
