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.

  • The Music for Life

    Reflect, today, upon your willingness to listen. Jesus strongly condemned those who did not listen and refused to hear Him. Do not be counted among their number.
  • The Glorious Cross of Our Lord!

    Reflect, today, upon the Cross of Christ. Spend some time gazing upon the crucifix. See in that crucifix the answer to your own daily struggles. Jesus is close to those who suffer, and His strength is available to all those who believe in Him.
  • A Rock Foundation

    Reflect, today, upon how well the foundation of your life has been built. When it’s strong, you can give your attention to many other aspects of your life.
