Daily Thought from the Saints

"Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire."

— St. Catherine of Siena

Daily Scripture Verse

"[May you be] strengthened with every power, in accord with his glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light."

Colossians 1:11-12

Daily Meditation

"We do find, it is true, great battles to fight, and great hardships to master; but that good Mother makes herself so present and so near to her faithful servants, to enlighten them in their darknesses and their doubts, to strengthen them in their fears, and to sustain them in their struggles and their difficulties, that in truth this virginal path to find Jesus Christ is a path of roses and honey compared with other paths."

— St. Louis de Montfort

Daily Catholic Wisdom

Vulnerability is not just essential to love; it is a requirement for knowledge of truth and relationship with God. So much of the latent practical atheism that dominates our modern world is connected to the loss of a lived and felt vulnerability to the reality of things as they are.

—Fr. John Nepil
from his book, “To Heights and unto Depths”

A Prayer

Rev. Louis DelFra, C.S.C.

Lord, you suffered the news of the death of your herald and companion, John the Baptist. Yet you also discerned in his death the power of his faith, for he was willing to give everything for his belief in God. Be close to us and those we love in all our trials. Help us to rely on the power of our faith in you, that our witness in times of trial may be a light for others. Amen.
