daily reflections

Know that Jesus is there in the midst of all apparent chaos, leading you through to the glorious conclusion He has in mind for you!

Reflect, today, on your calling in life. Perhaps you are not called to go forth and do “great things” from a public and worldly perspective.

Reflect, today, upon the serious temptation we all face of being indifferent to Christ. It’s easy for us to have a little faith and to turn to God when it is to our advantage. But it is also very easy to remain indifferent to Christ when things in life seem to be going well.

Reflect, today, upon the seriousness of the Gospel. Following Jesus and building up His Kingdom is not only a great honor and joy, it’s also a requirement.

Reflect, today, upon Zacchaeus and see yourself in his person. You, too, are a sinner. But God’s compassion is far more powerful than any sin.

Reflect, today, upon all that God has given you. What are your “talents?” What have you been given to work with in life?

Reflect, today, upon how ready and willing you are to give complete control of your life to our merciful God.

Reflect, today, upon your approach to the goodness of God.

Reflect, today, upon your motivation for loving service to others.

Reflect, today, upon the righteous anger God may want to put into your heart at times.

Reflect, today, upon how you look at and treat those whose sins are somewhat manifest.

Reflect, today, upon that which is the greatest obstacle to your relationship with God. Who or what tears you away from loving God with your whole heart.

Reflect, today, upon God coming to you and inviting you to share more fully in His life of grace.

Reflect, today, upon how free you are from the misleading and false opinions of others.

Reflect, today, upon your own commitment to the will of the Father in your life. Are you fulfilling His will?

As we honor the Apostles Simon and Jude, reflect, today, upon your own calling to follow Christ and act as His apostle to the world.

Though conversion may not always take place overnight, it must be constant so as to enable the soul to progress to that place prepared for it by God.

Reflect, today, upon the simple call to love God and your neighbor with all that you are.

Reflect, today, upon whether you feel as though you are in need of allowing Jesus to “cultivate the ground” around you.

Reflect, today, upon your life of prayer. Know that the moments you dedicate exclusively to prayer each day are essential to your holiness and relationship with God.
