Whom is God calling you to love?
February 1
"The future is in your hearts and in your hands. God is entrusting to you the task, at once difficult and uplifting, of working with Him in the building of the civilization of love."
-Pope St. John Paul II
Martha and Mary walk together
January 31
“Saint Martha was a saint, even though they do not say she was contemplative… the active and contemplative lives are joined. … Thus Martha and Mary walk together.”
-St. Teresa of Avila
Strength to serve
January 30
“Let us desire and be occupied in prayer not for the sake of our enjoyment but so as to have this strength to serve... Believe me, Martha and Mary must join together in order to show hospitality to the Lord and to have him always present and not host him badly for failing to give him something to eat. How would Mary, always seated at his feet, provide him with food if her sister did not help her?”
-St. Teresa of Avila
Beware of Alleged Papal Approval of Homeopathy!
It has recently come to my attention that several homeopathic enthusiasts are implying that Catholics and Christians should be encouraged to use homeopathy because of the many popes who used it. They are also pointing to an award given to a homeopathic physician by Pope Paul VI and to the fact that Mother Theresa’s order has also used these drugs as reason for Catholics to embrace homeopathy. Although all of these facts are true, when the story behind them is told, the picture looks a whole lot different!
Will you say "yes" to your call?
January 29
"The soul of woman must be expansive and open to all human beings, it must be quiet so that no small weak flame will be extinguished by stormy winds; warm so as not to benumb fragile buds … empty of itself, in order that extraneous life may have room in it; finally, mistress of itself and also of its body, so that the entire person is readily at the disposal of every call."
-St. Edith Stein
Animate others to know God
January 28
"Good example is the most efficacious apostolate; you must be lighted lanterns and shine like brilliant chandeliers among men. By your good example and your words, animate others to know and love God."
-St. Mary Joseph Rossello
Christian Reviewers Pan "Wicked for Good" Movie
Christian reviewers are giving the thumbs down on the sequel to the hit movie, Wicked, and for good reason. Wicked: For Good is filled with mixed messaging about good and evil. It features witchcraft throughout the film, constantly suggesting that sorcery is okay if intended for good purposes. The PG film also contains sexually suggestive content that is not suitable for young children.
Have you become hardhearted?
January 27
"Never must our wounded sensibilities make us indifferent our hardhearted...”
-Elisabeth Leseur
How do you practice generosity?
January 26
"Far from being like to those great souls who from their childhood practice all sorts of macerations, I made my mortification consist solely in the breaking of my will, restraining a hasty word, rendering little services to those around me without making anything of it, and a thousand other things of this kind.”
-Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
