I know well

September 10

"I know well that the greater and more beautiful the work is, the more terrible will be the storms that rage against it."

-St. Faustina

 

Today's Reflection:

What work is God currently calling you to? Have you experienced any storms as a result?

Lord, prepare our hearts for whatever comes our way. Strengthen us to follow You wherever that path leads!

The gift of grace

September 9

"Without the burden of afflictions it is impossible to reach the height of grace. The gift of grace increases as the struggle increases."

-St. Rose of Lima

 

Today's Reflection:

What afflictions/struggles are you facing currently? Suggestion: spend an hour in Adoration this week asking our Father for all the extra graces needed to truly thrive at this time.

Amen.

Happy Birthday to our Most Blessed Mother Mary!

September 8
Nativity of Mary
"Think of what the Saints have done for their neighbor because they loved God. But what Saint's love for God can match Mary's? She loved Him more in the first moment of her existence than all the Saints and angels ever loved Him or will love Him. Our Lady herself revealed to Sister Mary Crucified that the fire of her love was most extreme. If Heaven and earth were placed in it, they would be instantly consumed. And the ardors of the seraphim, compared with it, are like cool breezes. Just as there is not one among all the Blessed who loves God as Mary does, so there is no one, after God, who loves us as much as this most loving Mother does. Furthermore, if we heaped together all the love that mothers have for their children, all the love of husbands and wives, all the love of all the angels and Saints for their clients, it could never equal Mary's love for even a single soul."
-St. Alphonsus Liguori
Today's Reflection:
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
Happy Birthday to our Most Blessed Mother Mary!

Crooked picture

September 7

"Criticism of others is thus an oblique form of self-commendation. We think we make the picture hang straight on our wall by telling our neighbors that all his pictures are crooked."

-Venerable Fulton Sheen

 

Today's Reflection:

How easily we criticize others! It's so simple to tell other people what they have done wrong or what is wrong with them; it's so challenging to bite our tongue, and instead, say a prayer for that person!

Today, spend some time asking our Lord for an increase in the virtue of humility this weekend in order to silence yourself and kindly reflect on your own self rather than shouting out criticism at others.

Things that shackle the heart

September 6
"Don't you long to shout to those youths who are bustling around you: 'Fools! Leave those worldly things that shackle the heart - and very often degrade it - leave all that and come with us in search of Love!'"
-St. Josemaria Escriva
Today's Reflection:
What shackles your heart? What worldly things do you need to leave behind to fully search and find the Lord?
