November 10

“Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, ‘As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall give praise[b] to God.’ So each of us shall give account of himself to God.”

-Romans 14: 10-11

For Reflection:

Imagine standing before the judgement seat of God.

Will it be a day of joy or sorrow or both? Take those sins and regrets to confession with you on your next visit to the sacrament.

November 9

“The torments of a thousand hells are nothing in comparison to the anguish of being banished from everlasting bliss and the vision of God.”

-St. John Chrysostom

For Reflection:

The chief misery of hell is being excluded from the beatific vision for all eternity. What a pity it would be for us if this were our end. Ask God for the grace today to be counted as one of the elect who will enjoy His presence for all eternity.

Where, O death, is your sting?

Posted on November 5, 2019 by Women of Grace Staff

November 5

“Behold, I tell you a mystery. We shall not all fall asleep, but we will all be changed, in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed…
Death is swallowed up in victory.
Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?”

-1 Corinthians 15: 51, 52, 55

For Reflection:

Death comes to us all, but we have the promise of the resurrection. As Christians, the overriding priority of our lives should be eternity with God, heaven, both for ourselves and as many souls as we can bring with us.
Is this the focus of your life and if not, what needs to change?

our eternal inheritance.
