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.
    Reflection Date: February 02, 2026

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

  • The Language of Jesus

    Reflect, today, upon the deep, veiled and mysterious language of God. When you read this language, especially in the Gospel of John, what is your reaction?
  • Public Sinners

    Reflect, today, upon whether you are more like the Pharisees or Jesus. Would you have stood there in the crowd wanting this humiliated woman to be stoned? How about today? When you hear about the manifest sins of others, do you find yourself to be condemning of them? Or do you hope that mercy is shown to them?
  • The Greatness of Saint Joseph

    Reflect, today, upon the unique vocation of Saint Joseph. Ponder, especially, the early years of his marriage and the raising of Jesus. Consider his fatherly commitment to care for, provide for and protect his Son.
