September 21
Feast of Saint Matthew, Apostle and Evangelist
"So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today."
-Matthew 6:34
Today's Reflection:
How often do you find yourself worrying about tomorrow? Next week? Next month? Next year? One of my favorite prayers is, "Jesus, I trust in you!" I repeat it so often! Next time you start worrying about the future, tell Jesus that you trust in Him, and watch your fear disappear!
St. Matthew, pray for us!

"We have received baptism, entrance into the Church and the honour of being called Christians. Yet what good will this do us, if we are Christians in name only and not in fact?"
-St. Andrew Kim Taegon

What an incredible question to ponder! "What good will this do us if we are Christians in name only and not in fact?" Ask yourself this question today; what will the answer be?
Sts. Andrew Kim Taegon, Paul Chong Hasang and Companions, pray for us!

"The author has seen the marvel of the blood liquefaction at closest range and can give witness to the fact. Taking into consideration all the scientific investigations that have been made, he would say that a natural explanation of the phenomena does not seem possible."
-Blessed Cardinal Schuster
Today's Reflection:
Today is the feast day of St. Januarius. He is famous for the miracle of the annual liquefaction of his blood. What miracle does God want to perform in your life at this very moment? Do you trust that He can transform even the most challenging parts of your life?

Thank you for your ongoing support of Women of Grace/Living His Life Abundantly. You truly are helping to transform the world by partnering in our mission and I am abundantly grateful.
Recently, we celebrated the Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows. This title of the Blessed Mother is particularly meaningful for me and holds much significance. As many of you know, Our Lady was my constant spiritual companion as I sojourned through the pilgrimage of pain I experienced when my son, Simon, was killed in a vehicular accident and then, when my late husband, Anthony, journeyed through the cross of terminal brain cancer.

Do you know of the computer game Wizard 101? My 20 year old daughter has been playing this game for many years and insists it is just a fun game. I was wondering if there are actual spells in this game like there are in the Harry Potter books. And how innocent is this game?"

"Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended
on you."
-St. Augustine
Today's Reflection:
Discerning when God is calling you to rest and wait, and when He is calling you to actively do something, is very important. He gives us the tools needed to live out our lives according to His will and purpose; He is also actively involved in every single thing we do. So ask Him to guide you, and then take the steps He calls you to!

"This is a serious warning cry: Surrender without reservation to the Lord who has called us. This is required of us so that the face of
the earth may be renewed."
-St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross
Today's Reflection:
Our Lord continues to call us deeper in a relationship with Him. How is He asking you to trust Him with greater surrender at this time? What does He want you to surrender?
