God's Will, Our Joy
FATHER JEAN PIERRE DE CAUSSADE, S.J.
There is not a moment in which God is not present with us under the cover of some pain to be endured, some obligation or some duty to be performed, or some consolation to be enjoyed.
All that takes place within us, around us, or through us involves and conceals his divine hand.
God’s hand is really and truly there, but it is invisibly present, so...

Thought for Tuesday February 28
From all their distress God rescues the just. Look to him that you may be radiant with joy, and your faces may not blush with shame. When the poor one called out, the LORD heard, and from all his distress he saved him. From all their distress God rescues the just. Matthew 6: 7 – 15 Jesus said to his disciples: “In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard...

Master, Teach Us to Pray
February 28, 2012
Tuesday of the First Week of Lent
Father José LaBoy, LC
Listen to podcast version here.
Matthew 6:7-15
Jesus said to his disciples: “In praying, do not babble like the pagans, who think that they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him. This is how you are to pray: Our Father who art in heaven,...

Love is the opening of the heart, the welcoming of your beloved. Loving is not secure, authentic loving is risky. Security lies behind the walls of a closed heart. You either invite the union by opening in love, or you secure the isolation by closing down.
Since we have these promises, beloved, let us...

‘Did our hearts not burn within us as he talked to us on the road?’ If you are an apostle, these words of the disciples of Emmaus should rise spontaneously to the lips of your professional companions when they meet you along the ways of their lives.

Saint of the Day
Queen St. Hedwig (1371-1399)
Upon her father’s death, Hedwig became Queen of Poland at the age of eleven. For political reasons, she agreed to marry a non-Christian prince, who later converted. She was noted for her charity to all, but especially the sick and poor.

God doesn’t partition you into pieces and loves some and not loves others. That’s what people do. That’s what you do. God, who created you, accepts and loves every little part of you, even those you deny and hate in yourself. So next time you try to dislike a part of you, just pause, look and remember that God loves it.

Matthew 25:31-46
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the...
Thought for Monday February 27
Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life. Let the words of my mouth and the thought of my heart find favor before you, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life. Matthew 25: 31 – 46 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you visited me. ...
