Daily Reflection

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Jesus Wept

    Reflect, today, upon the serious temptation we all face of being indifferent to Christ. It’s easy for us to have a little faith and to turn to God when it is to our advantage. But it is also very easy to remain indifferent to Christ when things in life seem to be going well.
  • Building the Kingdom

    Reflect, today, upon the seriousness of the Gospel. Following Jesus and building up His Kingdom is not only a great honor and joy, it’s also a requirement.
