As we celebrate the feast of Saint Matthias the Apostle today, we reflect on the kind of love and friendship that Jesus is inviting us.
Reflection Date: May 14, 2026
Setbacks and long waiting are part of the realities in life. However, today we are reminded that God’s plan unfolds with patience and persistence.
Reflection Date: May 16, 2026
Reflect, today, upon Jesus’ act of perfectly fulfilling the will of the Father in His human nature. Even though our Lord was divine, He was also fully human. He, therefore, perfectly understands your human struggles and weaknesses.
Reflect, today, upon the exceptionally important truth—that Jesus wants you to know His peace in your heart. And He wants that peace to sustain you. Reflect upon the interior battle that may take place within you between the world and the peace of Christ.
Reflect, today, upon whether you struggle at all with indifference toward the mysteries of life. If so, commit yourself to be more like these disciples who intentionally grappled with all that Jesus spoke.
