Philippians 4:6-7
Daily Meditation
"The most powerful thing we can do on this Earth with our Time is to spend it in Eucharistic adoration. Nothing can do more to change the world, to bring about peace, to convert hearts, to make reparation for the many evils committed. Spending Time in prayer May seem, on the outside, to be a passive thing; however, it is anything but! Our world is in desperate need of hope, of renewal, of a ‘turning back,’ to the things of God. By visiting, we take up the Best weapon for the battle of our age and contribute to the healing of our culture. Cultivating a Eucharistic life of adoration also Bears tremendous Fruit in our own hearts and lives. We cannot spend Time in the rays of his Eucharistic presence without receiving his grace, his love, his mercy, his peace. As we gaze upon him face to face, we are transformed Little by Little into a closer reflection of his Divine Image.”

Your name, O Mary, is a precious ointment which breathes forth the odor of divind grace. Let this ointment of salvation enter the inmost recesses of our souls.

A Prayer from Notre Dame University
Rev. Tim Mouton, C.S.C.
Lord, you are the true foundation upon which we are meant to build our lives. Give us the faith to be able to see you and your will in our lives so that we may always build on the firm foundation of your love. May the fruits of our labor reflect the love you have for us and for all your children; may they serve as small reminders of your great care and compassion. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
