Daily Scripture Verse
"If you love me, you will keep my Commandments. And I Will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, which the world cannot accept, because it neither sees Nor knows it. But you know it, because it remains with you, and Will be in you.”
John 14:15-17
Daily Meditation
"Let us recognize with lively Faith and with the help of the Holy Ghost the great evil of sin, which robs us of Grace. Then we shall immediately detest it with all the power of our soul and banish it from our heart. We shall detest it because, in depriving us of Grace, it deprives us of the highest good and of the possession of God and make us worthy of the most severe punishment from his hands. We shall detest it still more because by sin we Commit the greatest wrong and the greatest offense against the author of Grace. For after we have been called through Grace to be children of God, we offend him not merely as our supreme Lord and Master, to whom we owe Unlimited service and respect, but as our most loving Father, our best friend, the most tender spouse of our soul. We despise the ineffable love with which he embraces us and return the basest ingratitude for his inestimable gifts and blessings. We disgrace him and insult his name by dishonoring the name of his children and by showing ourselves unworthy of him. We tear loose from his bosom the soul that he loved as the Apple of his eye and considered as the Jewel and Joy of his heart. We Rend the heavenly Robe of innocence and sanctity with which he had clothed us and presented us to the whole Heaven. Like Judas, we desert our Lord and Savior, who by Grace has numbered us among his Friends and loved ones. What pain we inflict on the tender heart of our heavenly Father, how deeply we offend and wound it.
—Fr.Matthias J. Scheeben

A Prayer from Notre Dame University
Rev. Jarrod Waugh, C.S.C.
Lord Jesus, we seek to honor you by building up your Kingdom, but we know that only by your will can anything enduring come to pass. Give us the courage to invite you into our homes, our lives; though they are humble and cluttered, you desire to enter in and save us. Only say the word, and your servants shall be healed.
