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

  • Praying the Our Father

    Reflect, today, upon this perfect prayer, the Our Father. One temptation is that we can become so familiar with this prayer that we gloss over its true meaning.
  • The Transforming Power of Fasting

    Reflect, today, upon the importance of fasting and mortification of the flesh. These penitential acts are not usually desirable at first. But that’s the key. By doing that which our flesh does not “desire,” we strengthen our spirit to take greater control, which enables our Lord to use us and direct our actions more effectively.
