-Isaiah 55:2

St. Mark, Evangelist

“The Church, which has spread everywhere, even to the ends of the earth, received the faith from the apostles and their disciples.”

-St. Irenaeus, Against Heresies

 

Today’s Reflection

Dear St. Mark, thank you for your faithfulness to the movement of the Holy Spirit. Through your obedience, I have received faith. Through your docility, I have received strength. Help me to live the gospel message, experience the gospel message, and pass the gospel message on to others. Please pray for me. Amen.

Faithful in truth

Posted on by

April 24, 2020

St. Fidelis, Priest and Martyr (1577-1622)

“In addition to this charity, he was faithful in truth as well as in name. His zeal for defending the Catholic faith was unsurpassed and he preached it tirelessly.”

-From a eulogy for St. Fidelis

 

Today’s Reflection

We need more people like St. Fidelis in our midst today. Given the circumstances of my life, how can I respond to this need?

Divine Mercy Counterfeit: The Grace Mercy Order

Posted on by

We have had numerous inquiries about a religious order based in Brazil known as the Grace Mercy Order which is promulgating alleged messages from Jesus, Mary, and St. Joseph. Even though this order incorporates the Divine Mercy Chaplet into its activities, it is not a Catholic organization and does not reflect a Christian worldview.

Consumed with the fire of the Holy Spirit

Posted on by

April 23, 2020

St. George, Martyr (280-303)

“As for Saint George, he was consumed with the fire of the Holy Spirit. Armed with the invincible standard of the cross, he did battle with an evil king and acquitted himself so well that, in vanquishing the king, he overcame the prince of all wicked spirits, and encouraged other soldiers of Christ to perform brave deeds in his cause.”

-From a homily of St. Peter Damian on St. George

 

Today’s Reflection

Could I be called “St. Georgette” today? In what way do I emulate St. George?

Posted on by

GG asks: “I heard about people who are lighting candles at a certain time every night and reciting an incantation about how the united flames of the candles will eradicate the coronavirus. Is this the same thing Catholics do when they light votive candles?”

Posted on by

“Lord, give me the heart of a child, and the awesome courage to live it out as an adult.”

-Catherine de Hueck Doherty, Molchanie

Today’s Reflection

What characterizes the heart of a child? Of these traits, which one do I most need to acquire? At this moment, I will ask God for the grace to develop this attribute.
