Daily Thought from the Saints

"Cast yourself into the arms of God and be very sure that if He wants anything of you, He will fit you for the work and give you strength."

— St. Philip Neri

Daily Scripture Verse

"After this I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue. They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice: "Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne, and from the Lamb.""

Revelation 7:9-10

Daily Meditation

"Like a child who fears no danger in his father's protecting arms, we must cast ourselves into the arms of our Heavenly Father, confident that those Hands which sustain the heavens are all powerful to supply our necessities, to uphold us in temptation, and to turn all things to our profit. And why should we not have confidence in God? Is He not the most powerful as well as the most tender of fathers? ... Do not dwell upon your unworthiness or your failings, but raise your eyes to God and consider the infinite goodness and mercy with which He deigns to apply a remedy to all our miseries. Reflect upon the truth of His words, for He has promised to help and comfort all who humbly and confidently invoke His sacred name. Consider also the innumerable benefits which you have hitherto received from His paternal hand, and let His bounty in the past inspire you to trust the future to Him with renewed hope. Above all, consider the merits and sufferings of Christ, which are our principal title to God's grace and mercy, and which form the treasure whence the Church supplies the necessities of her children. It was from a confidence inspired by such motives that the saints drew that strength which rendered them as firm as Mount Sion, and established them in the holy city whence they never could be moved. (Cf. Ps.124:1)."

Daily Catholic Wisdom

It is plainly evident that there is no one in the world who will not receive all kinds of heavenly blessings if they have a true love of Jesus Christ manifested by a devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

—St. Margaret Mary Alacoque

A Prayer from Notre Dame University

Rev. Thomas Jones, C.S.C.

We are not good listeners, Lord. To listen, we must keep quiet, but we always want to have the last word. While you have given each of us one mouth, you have bestowed our bodies with two ears. Help us to speak with integrity, and to listen twice as much as we speak. We come to you to learn of the Father. Amen.
