Today, reflect on Jesus' prophecy that "the sun will be darkened, the moon will not give light, and the stars will fall." See these words not only as a message to the whole Church but also to you personally. Every hardship or moment of feeling "shaken" is a chance to turn to God in trust. Invite Him into your trials and know that these are signs of His presence, purifying and preparing you for the day of His return.

Reflect today on your own trust in God’s wisdom. Do you fully believe He hears and responds to your prayers, even if His response differs from your expectations? Ask Him for the grace to trust that His ways are higher than ours. Surrender any concerns or injustices to Him, and allow His perfect will to bring true peace and justice into your life.

Reflect today on whether you are actively seeking to “lose your life” for the sake of the Kingdom. Are you choosing grace over indulgence, mercy over resentment, and compassion over selfishness? Are you striving to be ready for Christ’s coming, not just at the end of time, but in every present moment He offers? When we live each moment in anticipation of His presence, we receive His saving grace continuously, preparing us for our ultimate meeting with Him.

Reflect today on Jesus’ statement, "the Kingdom of God is among you." Do you perceive His Kingdom in your life, and do you see yourself as part of its growth? If not, consider praying for the faith needed to understand His words. God wants us to see and join in the work of His Kingdom, and it is by His grace that we are able to recognize it.

Reflect today on your own sense of gratitude. Are you more like the one leper who returned or like the nine who didn’t? If you sometimes feel entitled rather than thankful, take inspiration from this one leper. His gratitude brought not only physical healing but spiritual salvation. Let this example lead you to a faith that not only receives from God but responds with heartfelt thanks.

Today, reflect on the image of a master and servant, but let go of any negative associations like harshness or control. See God as a Master who perfectly loves His servants, who desires only the best for them. Reflect on your own need for such a Master, and pray for the grace to surrender fully to Him, trusting that He will lead you to a life of purpose and peace.

Reflect today on those around you who might be struggling, whether with anger, addiction, or confusion. How do you approach them? Do you show judgement or indifference, or do you respond with understanding and mercy? When we encounter someone in need, Jesus calls us to meet them with compassion, offering forgiveness and support, even when it’s challenging. Embracing this compassion can help lift others, bringing them closer to God.

Reflect today on Jesus’ praise for the widow: "She, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood." Are you dedicating all that you have—your time, energy, and talents—to God’s service? We are called to give fully, not just partially, as this w

Today, let’s open ourselves to His purifying grace. Allow Jesus to enter and cleanse what needs healing, trusting that His zeal is an expression of His perfect love. May we respond to His invitation with courage, letting Him transform us into living stones for the building up of His Church.

Today, let us reflect on this radical approach to stewardship. Pray for the freedom to see all that we have as God’s property and to use it for His glory. Embracing this will bring us a deeper peace than any material comfort can offer.
