“When I first started Young Women of Grace, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to be in a group of girls that I was somewhat familiar with, but it helped us get a little closer because we were eager to grow more in our faith, especially as young women living in this generation. Probably the neatest thing about the program was the fact that inserted in the book were stories of real female saints that overcame incredible hardships. Personally this is striking because it shows how powerful women can be especially with the help of God.”

Prayer is an act of love
February 25
“Prayer is an act of love; words are not needed.”
-St. Teresa of Avila
Today’s Reflection:
Do you do all the talking in prayer? Take five minutes out of your daily prayer time to be silent, thus giving God a chance to “speak” if He so chooses, and to enjoy the Stillness of eternal Love.
Is it okay for a Catholic to display statues of Buddha in their home?
GM writes: “My mother and I got into a discussion about idolatry a few weeks ago. She seems to think that having pagan artwork in the home isn’t idolatry, and I can’t help but feel like it is, although the extent of it is a rendering of a buddha by my sister, and a couple buddha statues in opposite alcoves in our entryway. What is Church teaching regarding this?”

Share a moment with God today
February 22
“He prays best who does not know that he is praying.”
-St Anthony (4th Century)
Today’s Reflection:
God wants to be more to us than just Someone we visit every Sunday morning. He wants to share our lives, our hopes, our dreams. Every time our thoughts turn to Him during the day, it’s a prayer, whether we realize it or not. Share a moment with God today!

The devil is very much afraid of resolute souls
February 21
“The devil is very much afraid of resolute souls, knowing by experience that they inflict great injury upon him.”
-St. Teresa of Avila
Today’s Reflection:
How resolute are you in the practice of daily prayer and the pursuit of a genuine relationship with God? Are you allowing “busy-ness” to interrupt your spiritual life? Bring these challenges to God and ask Him to give you the grace to strengthen your resolve.
