Posted on by

November 21
“Each and every one of us, at the end of the journey of life, will come face to face with either one or the other of two faces… And one of them, either the merciful face of Christ or the miserable face of Satan, will say, ‘Mine, mine.’ May we be Christ’s!”
-Venerable Fulton Sheen

Healing rays

Posted on by

November 17
“Lo, the day is coming, blazing like an oven,
 when all the proud and all evildoers will be stubble,
 and the day that is coming will set them on fire,
 leaving them neither root nor branch,
 says the LORD of hosts.
 But for you who fear my name, there will arise
 the sun of justice with its healing rays.”
-Malachi 3:19-20
Today’s Reflection:
We long for the day when Jesus will come in all His glory and all will know that He is Christ the King. But for now, we must endure a world that is largely opposed to Him. Where do you find strength to persevere?

Inherit the kingdom

Posted on by

November 16
“Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’”
-Matthew 25:34-36
Today’s Reflection:
An earthly inheritance usually entails money, a house, and the belongings therein. Our heavenly inheritance is beyond anything we can ever imagine because it is the entering into the beatitude of God, our heavenly Father.
