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.

    Reflect, today, upon your desire or lack of desire to be with Jesus always. Are there times when you prefer He not be there? Or have you allowed yourself to have this same affection for Jesus seeking His presence in your life always?
