Romans 1:20a
Daily Meditation
"He that sacrifices to God his property by alms-deeds, his honor by bearing insults, or his body by mortifications, by fasts and penitential rigours, offers to Him a part of himself and of what belongs to him; but he that sacrifices to God his will, by obedience, gives to Him all that he has, and can say: Lord, having given you my will, I have nothing more to give you."
— St. Alphonsus Liguori
Daily Catholic Wisdom
To live without a Faith, without a patrimony to defend, without a steady struggle for Truth, that is not living but existing.
—Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati
from a letter to his friend Isidoro Bonini
Daily Journey with the Pope
““They all ate and were satisfied” (Lk. 9:17), the Gospel says. In the Eucharist, everyone can experience this loving and concrete attention of the Lord. Those who receive the Body and Blood of Christ with faith not only eat, but are satisfied. To eat and to be satisfied: these are two basic necessities that are satisfied in the Eucharist.”
Pope Francis
A Prayer
Rev. Joseph Corpora, C.S.C.
Lord, forgive us for the times we think that you are not concerned about us or that you have forgotten us. The Gospel today reminds us that your heart was moved with pity for the crowds. In the same way your heart is always attentive to our needs. Thank you for being a shepherd to us. Help us, O Lord, to truly live the vocation that you call us to. Help us to know that all of us, because we are baptized, are called to be shepherds to your people. Thank you for this great privilege. We pray this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
