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.

    “Leading life with past hunches is like driving a vehicle by looking at the rear-view mirror. There is no problem if you occasionally look at it. But if you permanently fix your eyes on it, you will meet with an accident.”
