Daily Reflection

  • February and Presentation

    Today, we echo the Presentation of the Lord, where a child carried into the Temple becomes the light for all nations. Like Simeon in the gospel, the story invites Asia to recognize salvation by lives offered humbly to God.

Upcoming

  • 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.
    Reflection Date: February 04, 2026
  • God Heals

    Today, we reflect on healing that happens when faith persists despite fear, delay, and public scrutiny. The story of Saint Blaise and the gospel of Mark reveal that trust in God can bring life where sickness and despair seem final.

Previous

  • Our Model for Holiness – Holy Thursday

    Reflect, today, upon the invitation of Jesus: “…as I have done for you, you should also do.” Jesus gave us everything, so we must give everything to others. We must serve without counting the cost. We must love them, putting their needs before ours. We must become a model of the love of Christ for them. Ponder Jesus’ service today and throughout the Triduum and commit yourself to live the invitation given you by our Lord.
  • Rejecting Empty Promises

    Reflect, today, upon the witness of Judas. Use him as a source of meditation and self-examination this Holy Week. What is it in your life that you desire more than our Lord?
  • The Glory of God in All Things

    Reflect, today, upon your call in life to see everything from the divine perspective. If you are upset, angry, despairing or confused at times, know that God wants to bring clarity and grace to every situation.
  • Expressing Your Love of God

    Reflect, today, upon ways in which you can imitate this act of loving devotion offered by Mary to Jesus. In what ways can you pour forth in an abundant way your time, money, talents, and energy upon our Lord?
