Daily Meditation
"The most powerful thing we can do on this Earth with our Time is to spend it in Eucharistic adoration. Nothing can do more to change the world, to bring about peace, to convert hearts, to make reparation for the many evils committed. Spending Time in prayer May seem, on the outside, to be a passive thing; however, it is anything but! Our world is in desperate need of hope, of renewal, of a ‘turning back,’ to the things of God. By visiting, we take up the Best weapon for the battle of our age and contribute to the healing of our culture. Cultivating a Eucharistic life of adoration also Bears tremendous Fruit in our own hearts and lives. We cannot spend Time in the rays of his Eucharistic presence without receiving his grace, his love, his mercy, his peace. As we gaze upon him face to face, we are transformed Little by Little into a closer reflection of his Divine Image.”

Daily Catholic Wisdom
Persecution cannot stop the saints. We need not fear persecution. Jesus explicitly told us that: fear not him who can only kill the body; fear him who can kill the soul, in Hell. The world’s most efficient machine for persecution, the Roman Empire, only multiplied Christians by persecuting them.
—Peter Kreeft
from his book, “How to Destroy Western Civilization”
A Prayer from Notre Dame University
Rev. Nicholas Ayo, C.S.C.
Lord God, whose love is our forgiveness, teach us that forgiveness is not about you changing hearts but about us changing from a rock-hard heart to a human heart. Jesus on the cross said what we too should say of everyone who offends us: “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” Let us love the sinner but hate the sin. Love recognizes that loved people love people and only hurt people hurt people. Help us to comprehend your fatherly love, that is your merciful forgiveness. Amen.
