In silence

Posted on by

-Sister Wendy Beckett

Give me a heart as big as the universe

Posted on by

July 8
“Oh Jesus, I love you very much. Give me a heart as big as the universe. Tell me what You wish that I do, and do with me as You will.”
-St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
Today’s Reflection:
St. Frances Cabrini’s request of God shows that she had magnanimity. Magnanimity is a moral virtue closely related to fortitude. It means a person is noble of mind and heart; generous in forgiving; above revenge or resentment; unselfish and gracious.
It also means a person has no fear of reprisal when necessary nor any fear of honor when deserved for all comes by mercy of God. A magnanimous person is willing to take on great endeavors for the Kingdom of God.
 When have I displayed this virtue?
 Today, I will pray for more opportunities to exercise magnanimity.

Love by loving

-Saint Francis de Sales

When a man loves a woman

Posted on by

February 14
“When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.”
-Venerable Fulton Sheen
Today’s Reflection:
The truth and relevance of this quote is striking. What can we do to elevate the virtue of the women in our lives?

The Good God

“The good God does not need years to accomplish His work of love in a soul; one ray from His Heart can, in an instant, make His flower bloom for eternity.”
-St. Therese of Lisieux
 Today’s Reflection:
When we trust in God and faithfully ask Him to change our hearts, He does so as swiftly as is necessary. Where can God heal and change my heart today? Do I trust Him to do so?

Lack of love

February 11
“Today people are suffering from poverty, but also from lack of love.”
-Pope Francis
Today’s Reflection:
Where am I lacking in love in my life? When I say that I love something or someone, what do I really mean? Ask God to open your heart to scatter more love wherever you go, love that only He can provide.

Love is

Posted on by

February 10
“Love is not a sentiment or feeling. Love is actively willing the good of the other.”
-Bishop Robert Barron
Today’s Reflection:
Often times, we think that love is simply a feeling towards another, an emotional response to a person. However, as Father Barron tells us, love is to actively will the good of the other. Wow! What a beautiful definition. Today, ask God to show you where you can turn your love for someone, especially Him, into action.

A word or a smile

Posted on by

February 9
“A word or a smile is often enough to put fresh life in a despondent soul.”
-St. Therese of Lisieux
Today’s Reflection:
What an impact I can have on another person! When I encounter others, how do I respond? Do I pretend to not see them? Or do I embrace them with the warmth of Christ’s love? Ask God to help you truly see others today.
