August 5
“Pride is an illusion, a lie and a thief. And since it is a truth of faith that we are nothing, he who esteems himself and thinks that he is someone is a seducer who deceives himself.”
-St. John Eudes
Today’s Reflection:
Why is pride so lethal to the spiritual life? How does pride seduce us? (See tomorrow’s Grace Line for one saint’s explanation.)

-St. Margaret Mary Alacoque
Today’s Reflection
Suffering is a hard pill to swallow. It takes great receptivity, trust, and surrender. Pray for the grace to embrace the crosses, contempt, sorrows, and afflictions the Lord permits to send your way.

-St. John Eudes
Today’s Reflection
Imagine what the world would be like if we lived this prayer.
