A Daddy’s Girl Forever

Posted on by

As I recount the memories of my dad through the eyes of a “daddy’s girl,” a smile easily forms. I will always be a “daddy’s girl,” even though my father has gone to be with Jesus. If you are a “daddy’s girl” too, you will know exactly what I mean. A “daddy’s girl” is a daughter who will always be “the apple of dad’s eye!” In her mind she is sure that daddy “hung the moon.” No matter how small in stature he is, a “daddy’s girl” knows with certainty her dad always has her back and will catch her when she falls.

“Whenever any grievous temptation or vehement sorrow oppresses thee, invoke thy guardian, thy leader; cry out to him and say,
‘Lord, save us, lest we perish!'”
-St. Bernard
Today’s Reflection
Is there a “grievous temptation” or “vehement sorrow” which is oppressing me today? Am I willing to take it to the Sacrament of Reconciliation and seek the grace of the Lord, “lest I perish?”

 Which sorrow of the Blessed Mother is presenting itself in my life right now? How is it similar? What is Jesus saying to me in the midst of it?

Moment to moment

“We should not wish for anything but what comes to us from moment to moment, exercising ourselves nonetheless for good.”
 -St. Catherine of Genoa
Today’s Reflection
 Do I live in the grace of the present moment or am I busy bemoaning the past or worrying about the future? How is this present moment calling forth from me the opportunity to exercise grace for the good?

The great women

Posted on by

June 15
“The great women always recall us to the deeper needs and the greater destinies; and so they try to save the world from the shallow, the slick, the facile, and the cruel, and to show us that the world of men is not meant to be either a battlefield or a laboratory, but a family.”
-Gerald Vann, O. P.
Today’s Reflection
Who are some of the great women saints to whom this quote rightly applies? To what extent does it apply to me? To what “deeper needs” and “greater destinies” do I witness through the words and actions of my life?

It is the Body of Christ

    Feast of Corpus Christi
“And let all take care that no unbaptized person tastes of the Eucharist nor a mouse or other animal and that none of it at all fall and be lost. For it is the Body of Christ to be eaten by them that believe and not to be lightly thought of.”
-St. Hippolytus (3rd C.)
Today’s Reflection
Name at least three ways this quote shows the consistent teaching of the Church regarding the Eucharist. Does my demeanor toward the Eucharist reflect that I do not think of it lightly? In what one way can I improve my attitude?
