Daily Thought from The Saints

“Keep to the ancient way and custom of the church, established and confirmed by so many Saints under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. And live a new life. Pray, and get others to pray, that God did not abandon his church, but reform it as he pleases, as he sees best for us, and more to his honor and glory.”

— St. Angela Merici

Daily Scripture Verse

“Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has similarly been tested in every way, yet without sin. So let us confidently approach the throne of grace to receive Mercy and to find grace for timely help.”

Hebrews 4:14-16

Daily Meditation

“Once, while I was wondering why our Lord so dearly loves the virtue of humility, the thought suddenly struck me, without previous reflection, that it is because God is the supreme truth and humility is the truth, for it is most true that we have nothing good of ourselves but only misery and nothingness: whoever ignores this, lives a life of falsehood. They that realize this fact most deeply are the most pleasing to God, the supreme truth, for they walk in the truth.”

— St. Teresa Of Avila

Daily Catholic Wisdom

The Eucharist is the meeting of your flesh with Christ’s, and taken in the right state, his Heart can be touched and consoled. We can give him that moment of harmony and rightness. We can embrace him as he embraces us.

—Sally Read
from her book, “Annunciation: A Call to Faith in a Broken World”

A Prayer from Notre Dame University

Rev. Louis DelFra, C.S.C.

Christ our Lord, you take joy when others perform mighty deeds in your name. Take joy in us by giving us the grace to perform good works for others in your name. May others come to know of your love and your healing presence through the charity that you inspire in us. Amen.
