"Let us love the cross very much, for it is there that we discover our life, our true love, and our strength in our greatest difficulties."
— St. Maria de Mattias
Daily Scripture Verse
"A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold. The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all."
Proverbs 22:1-2
Daily Meditation
"To the extent that we abandon our personality to Him, He will take possession of our will and work in us. We are no longer ruled by commands coming from the outside, as from a cruel master, but by almost imperceptible suggestions that rise up from within. We feel as if we had wanted all along to do those things He suggests to us; we are never conscious of being under command. Thus our service to Him becomes the highest form of liberty, for it is always easy to do something for the one we love."
— Fulton J. Sheen
Daily Catholic Wisdom
The Incarnation of God in Christ signals the transposition of all of creation into the divine life, and with that transposition comes an uncompromising call for a painful and purgative transformation, wherein a thousand small deaths must happen before our true form can appear.
—Larry Chapp

A Prayer from Notre Dame University
Rev. William Simmons, C.S.C.
A warning from the Lord Jesus—obedience and service must be accompanied by the sincere dedication of the heart to serve the Lord. Substituting trivia for real obedience and acceptance of the Lord’s will easily ruins the prayer and petition addressed to him. Let me pray, let me serve, Lord, with truth and sincerity, with love and generosity in my heart. Amen.
