Daily Meditation
"In the old days, when there was less education and discussion, perhaps it was possible to get on with a very few simple ideas about God. But it is not so now. Everyone reads, everyone hears things discussed. Consequently, if you do not listen to Theology, that will not mean that you have no ideas about God. It will mean that you have a lot of wrong ones—bad, muddled, out-of-date ideas. For a great many of the ideas about God which are trotted out as novelties today are simply the ones which real Theologians tried centuries ago and rejected."
— C. S. Lewis
Daily Catholic Wisdom
No mortal eye can mark the boundaries of the communion of saints. For no one knows how far love is able to radiate, how much it can sustain and act on behalf of others.
—Hans Urs von Balthasar
from his book, “You Crown the Year with Your Goodness”
A Prayer from Notre Dame University
Rev. Thomas McNally, C.S.C.
When you walked the earth, Lord, there was the same kind of violence we see in our day. Violent men threw John into prison and raged against the kingdom you were establishing. Help us counteract the violence of our time by being men and women who try to advance your kingdom of peace. Amen.
