Daily Thought from the Saints
"A friend is more to be longed for than the light; I speak of a genuine one. And wonder not: for it were better for us that the Sun should be extinguished, than that we should be deprived of Friends; better to live in darkness, than to be without Friends.”
— St. John Chrysostom
Daily Scripture Verse
"Many are invited, but few are chosen.”
Matthew 22:14
Daily Meditation
"Perhaps we do not know what love is, nor does this greatly surprise me. Love does not consist in great sweetness of devotion, but in a fervent determination to strive to please God in all things, in avoiding, as far as possible, all that would offend him, and in praying for the increase of the glory and honor of his son and for the growth of the Catholic Church.”
— St. Teresa Of Avila
Daily Catholic Wisdom
Our age worships the future. We must not respond by worshipping the past. Our orthodoxy, though revealed in the past, comes not from past time but from eternity through the past, and it lights our road not just to future time but to eternity.
—Peter Kreeft
from his book, “How to Destroy Western Civilization”
A Prayer from Notre Dame University
Rev. Steve Gibson, C.S.C.
Lord Jesus, I place myself in your presence. I have set aside this moment so I can listen to your direction for this day. I believe that you are present with all the graces I need. I hope in you, Lord, because only in You can I eternally trust. Give me the awareness and courage to remove the beam from my eye that I might love you more dearly, see you more clearly, and follow you more nearly.
