Daily Thought from The Saints
“The fruit of silence is prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is love, the fruit of love is service, the fruit of service is peace.”
— St. Mother Teresa Of Calcutta
Daily Scripture Verse

Numbers 6:24-26
Daily Meditation
“You have never begrudged the martyrs their triumph but rather trained them for it. And so I am asking you to be consistent with the lessons you teach them. Just beg for me the courage and endurance not only to speak but also to will what is right, so that I May not only be called a Christian, but proved to be one. For if I prove myself to be a Christian by martyrdom, then People will call me one; and my loyalty to Christ will be apparent when the world sees me no more. Nothing you can see is truly good. For our Lord Jesus Christ, now that he has returned to his Father, has revealed himself more clearly. Our task is not one of producing persuasive propaganda; Christianity shows its greatness when it is hated by the world.”
— St. Ignatius Of Antioch
Daily Catholic Wisdom
Prayer is a poorly known means, and yet the most effective, for establishing peace in souls, for giving them happiness, since it serves to bring them closer to the love of God.

Merciful Father, we know not the day nor the hour of your coming in glory. As we await the Master’s return we look to your Saints as a guide for living in unity with you. Help us to be prepared for that glorious day through our imitation of the faithful example of your holy men and women. Amen.
