Daily Thought from the Saints

"Let us love God, but with the strength of our arms, in the sweat of our brow."

— St. Vincent de Paul

Daily Scripture Verse

"Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers."

Psalm 1: 1-3

Daily Meditation

"Yes, my heart’s dear one, Jesus, is here with His cross. Since you are one of His favorites, he wants to make you into His likeness; why be afraid that you will not have the strength to carry this cross without a struggle? On the way to Calvary, Jesus did indeed fall three times and you, poor little child, would like to be different from your spouse, would rather not fall a hundred times if necessary to prove your love to Him by getting back up with even more strength than before your fall!"

— St. Therese of Lisieux

Daily Catholic Wisdom

Let your words be flavorful with God's wisdom.

—Saint Cyril

A Prayer from Notre Dame University

Loving God, like the crowd in today’s Gospel, we too seek signs of your presence in our daily life. Like them, we sometimes do not recognize your presence through your Son, who is close to us in word and sacrament. Open our eyes and hearts to all the ways you reveal yourself to us. Give us the consolation of your presence, for we yearn for it daily. Amen.
