Daily Thought from the Saints

"Our true worth does not consist in what human beings think of us. What we really are consists in what God knows us to be."

— St. John Berchmans

Daily Scripture Verse

"[I pray that you] may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God."

Ephesians 3:18-19

Daily Meditation

"It is by endurance that you will secure possession of your souls (Luke 21:18). The possession of a soul means the undisturbed mastery of oneself, which is the secret of inner peace, as distinguished from a thousand agitations which make it fearful, unhappy, and disappointed. Only when a soul is possessed can anything else be enjoyed. Our Lord here meant patience in adversity, trial, and persecution. At the end of three hours on the Cross, He would so possess His soul that He would render it back to the Heavenly Father."

— Fulton J. Sheen

Daily Catholic Wisdom

God: knowledge of self requires (perseverance) to be seasoned with knowledge of Me, lest it bring the soul to confusion.

A Prayer from Notre Dame University

Rev. Herbert Yost, C.S.C.

Jesus, my Lord, all too often we define ourselves by what we have or what we do, instead of who we are. All I will have left is me—and you. Oh Jesus, I wish I valued you as much as I value other things or people in my life. During these 40 days let your words change me: “What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose or forfeit themselves?”
