Daily Thought from the Saints
"Listen with the ear of your heart."
– St. Benedict of Nursia
Daily Scripture Verse
"I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us."
Romans 8:18
Daily Meditation
"The shock of sorrow comes only to those who think this world is fixed and absolute, that there is nothing beyond. They think everything here below should be perfect. Hence, they ask questions: 'Why should I suffer? What have I done to deserve this?' Maybe you did nothing to deserve it. Certainly, Our Lord did nothing to deserve His Cross. But it came, and through it, He went to His glory."
—Venerable Fulton Sheen
Day by Day with Mary, the Mother of God
Rejoice, O Blessed One, the Lord is with you. Rejoice, O Blessed One, you radiant heaven. Rejoice of Blessed One, you virgin rich in virtue… Rejoice, Immaculate Mother, you have borne him who was before you… Rejoice, mysterious book, you let the world read the divine Word, the Son of the Father.
Epiphanias
A Prayer from Notre Dame University
Rev. Lou DelFra, C.S.C.
Lord, Guiding Light, You teach us to call you alone our Teacher, our Parent, our Lord. Help us to trust your instruction and guiding graces in our lives, more unreservedly each day. We know too that you often mediate your graces through others, And have entrusted to us your mission to teach, to parent, to steward. Grant us the grace to respond with generosity and compassion, and especially as we begin Catholic Schools Week, bless all teachers whom you have called to pass on the light of knowledge and faith to our young. We ask this through Christ, our Lord and Teacher. Amen.
