Daily Reflection

  • When Hope Finds the Shore

    Today, we reflect on how places carry memory and meaning, as shown by the land of Gennesaret and the people who ran to meet Jesus there. The story and the gospel remind us that healing often begins when people recognize where hope has arrived.

  • What Really Makes Us Clean?

    Today, we reflect on how true healing and holiness begin not from what we wash away on the outside, but from what we allow God to touch within us. The story of Lourdes and the gospel both remind us that God is concerned not only with physical purity or sickness, but with the deeper condition of the human heart.

  • When Traditions Forget the Heart

    Today, we look at how genuine holiness is measured not by external practices alone but by the depth of one’s love and fidelity. The story of Saint Scholastica and the gospel both remind us that what truly matters is a heart aligned with God’s will.

  • Why Evil Exists Alongside God

    Reflection Date: September 29, 2023
    God is completely and eternally good. Evil does not come from Him. When He created the world, He deemed it to be good. However, it is not yet complete, and the many tribulations we experience on earth are God’s way of bringing it to perfection.
  • Like A Cheap Party Trick

    Reflection Date: September 28, 2023
    We may be becoming impatient with God for not answering our intentions or being too demanding to get what we want. He is not a magician who grants prayers on a whim. He is not a genie who answers to us.
  • Naked Before God

    Reflection Date: September 27, 2023
    The more the apostles let go of their dependency on material things, the deeper the grace they receive through their Master, who imparted to them His miraculous powers.
