Daily Thought from the Saints

"Reading the Holy Scriptures confers two benefits. It trains the mind to understand them; it turns man's attention from the follies of the world and leads him to the love of God."

— St. Isidore of Seville

Daily Scripture Verse

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."

Matthew 7:7-8

Daily Meditation

"Man was created for a certain end. This end is to praise, to reverence and to serve the Lord his God and by this means to arrive at eternal salvation. All other beings and objects that surround us on the earth were created for the benefit of man and to be useful to him, as means to his final end; hence his obligation to use, or to abstain from the use of, these creatures, according as they bring him nearer to that end, or tend to separate him from it."

— St. Ignatius of Loyola

Daily Catholic Wisdom

By looking at God’s purpose for our lives as wives and mothers, we will get a sense of meaning and dignity that far surpasses the value that the world places on the vocation to family life. By gathering together we break down our own isolation and are able to share principles and individual experiences. We can make a difference in our world.

—Michaelann Martin
from her book “Woman of Grace”

A Prayer from Notre Dame University

Rev. Herb Yost, C.S.C.

Dear Lord, give us wisdom when we are filled with questions. Grant us a grateful heart when we feel discouraged. Open our eyes to the opportunities that await us. Steady our pace so that we can see you in the people and challenges that will come our way today. Let us be pure of spirit so your glory may guide our thinking and acting. Amen.
