“If Christ is your Leader and your Model, you ought to think as He does.”

-Emil Neubert, SM, STD

Today’s Reflection:

Do you have Christ-like thoughts when it comes to poverty? To suffering? To His command to take up your cross and follow Him? Ponder these questions and take them into your next time of examination or confession.

Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, Apostles

by the apostle’s blood.”

-St. Augustine

Today’s Reflection:

“God our Father, today you give us the joy of celebrating the feast of the apostles Peter and Paul. Through them your Church received the faith. Keep us true to their teaching.

Mother of God

Posted on June 27, 2020 by Women of Grace Staff

June 27

Feast of St. Cyril of Alexandria , Bishop (D. 444)

“That anyone could doubt the right of the holy Virgin to be called the Mother of God fills me with astonishment. Surely she must be the Mother of God if our Lord Jesus Christ is God, and she gave birth to him! Our Lord’s disciples may not have used those exact words, but they delivered to us the belief those words enshrine, and this has also been taught us by the holy fathers.”

– St. Cyril of Alexandria

Today’s Reflection:

Consider the logic of St. Cyril of Alexandria regarding Mary’s title of Mother of God. How does this increase my ability to communicate this truth to those who may object to this title?
