Daily Reflection

  • Familiarity Bridges Contempt

    Today we reflect on how sacred spaces and sacred persons can be dishonored when reverence is lost. The closure of a chapel and the rejection of Jesus in his hometown reveal how disbelief and disrespect wound both faith and community.

Upcoming

  • Accountability

    Today, we reflect on how truth-tellers are often silenced by fear and abuse of power, as seen in the story of Saint Paul Miki and the fate of John the Baptist. Both reveal that faithfulness to truth can threaten those who cling to authority without conscience.

  • Traveling Light in a Heavy World

    Today, we reflect on how faith moves forward through courage and simplicity, as seen in the life of Saint Agatha and the mission of the Twelve. Both stories show that God’s power works best when witnesses rely on His mighty providence.

  • True Friendship

    Reflect, today, upon your understanding of friendship. Begin with your friendship with God, but then also ponder your friendship with others. Do you love our Lord in the way that He commands?
  • The Good Fruit of Obedience

    Reflect, today, upon your immediate interior reaction to holy obedience. If you do find yourself resistant in any way to this teaching of Jesus, then that is a good sign that you need this teaching more than you may know.
  • Firmly Connected to Christ

    Reflect, today, upon the beautiful and meaningful image given to us by Jesus of the vine and the branches. Think of a vine and then think of yourself firmly attached to that vine. Sit with that image prayerfully and let God speak to you.
  • The Peace of Christ

    Reflect, today, upon whether you truly have peace in your heart. Do you recognize the still, strong and sustaining presence of God within your soul?
