With arms outstretched

February 16
"One of the favorite images I like to use for describing the Christian life is of a person standing with arms outstretched.  One hand, in faith and prayer, touches God; the other hand is extended in service to the neighbor.  Thus a person is cruciform, touching God and touching neighbor."
--Catherine de Hueck Doherty

For the love of God

February 15
"It is amusing to see souls who, while they are at prayer, fancy they are
willing to be despised and publicly insulted for the love of God, yet
afterward do all they can to hide their small defects; if anyone unjustly

-St. Teresa of Avila

Love is the key

February 14
“Love is the key to the mystery. Love by its very nature is not selfish, but

and peace it can purchase for others.”
–Ven. Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

A word or a smile

February 9
"A word or a smile is often enough to put fresh life in a despondent soul."
-St. Therese of Lisieux
Today's Reflection:
What an impact we can have on another person! When you encounter others, how do you respond? Do you pretend to not see them? Or do you embrace them with the warmth of Christ's love? Ask God to help you truly see others today.
