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.

  • 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.
