Today we dive into Romans 12:9-16. “Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord [...] do not claim to be wiser than you are.” Do you know what true humility looks like? Being rooted in the truth will lead to an honest humility and ultimately you will possess a healthy zeal and passion for the Lord.

Today we reflect on the gospel of Mark 10:28-31. “Truly I tell you, there is no one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or mother or father or children [...] for my sake who will not receive a hundredfold now in this age.” We are each called to surrender different things in order to fully love God. How much are you willing to give up in order to follow Christ?

Today we dive into Genesis 3:9-15, 20. “I heard the sound of you in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked, and I hid myself.” In choosing to do the one thing that God had commanded them not to do Adam and Eve first experienced shame over their nakedness, lost their trust, and hid from God. How have your wounds created distance and distrust in your relationship with God?

Today we dive into 1 Corinthians 12:3-7,12-13. “Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says, ‘Let Jesus be cursed’.” Be careful how you speak about Jesus and never use his name in vain. We ought to revere the holy name of Jesus Christ and show our reverence for Him to others.

Today we dive into 1 Corinthians 2:10-16. “Those who are unspiritual do not receive the gifts of God’s Spirit, for they are foolishness to them.” In order to be led by the Spirit we must be rooted in virtue and the Sacraments. Begin with the little things, forming intentional good habits. The more consistently we live according to God’s commandments the more we will hear the voice of the Holy Spirit in our hearts.

Is There Division in Your Heart? | May 24, 2023

Today we take time to reflect on the gospel of John 17:11-19. “Holy Father protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one.” It breaks our Lord’s heart every time we cause division in our Churches and in our homes. Take time to address the areas of your heart that are causing divisiveness rather than unity in the world.

Today we reflect on Acts 20:17-27. “And now, as a captive to the Holy Spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there.” Are you closed off to the guiding voice of the Holy Spirit? In order to be in tune with the Spirit you have to be open to the small daily nudges to step out of your comfort zone.

Today we focus on Philippians 4:4-9. “Rejoice in the Lord always.” It is hard to rejoice in the Lord when difficulties arise and we feel forgotten by God. We have to remember that the Lord is near and dwells within us, especially when we are living a sacramental life. Focus on the Lord’s nearness and his peace will fill your heart.

Today we reflect on the gospel of Matthew 28:16-20. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” Don’t be afraid of scaring people away with the truth of the gospel. We must abide by the laws commanded by the Lord and live out our faith. Without obedience to God we cannot be true followers of Christ.

Today we dive into the gospel of Luke 9:57-62. “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God.” Are you too attached to certain sins in your life? We must not flinch or hesitate when we feel the call from the Lord. Go immediately and do what He has put upon your heart.
