Let me never be confounded.” -St. Francis Xavier Today’s Meditation “We go along, taking for granted that tomorrow will be very much like today, comfortable in the world we have created for ourselves, secure in the established order we have learned to live with, however imperfect it may be, and give little thought to God at all. Somehow, then, God must contrive to break through those routines of ours and remind us once again, like Israel, that we are ultimately dependent only upon him, that he has made us and destined us for life with him through all eternity, that the things of this world and this world itself are not our lasting city, that his we are and that we must look to him and turn to him in everything. Then it is, perhaps, that he must allow our whole world to be turned upside down in order to remind us it is not our permanent abode or final destiny, to bring us to our senses and restore our sense of values, to turn our thoughts once more to him—even if at first our thoughts are questioning and full of reproaches. Then it is that he must remind us again, with terrible clarity, that he meant exactly what he said in those seemingly simple words of the Sermon on the Mount: “Do not be anxious about what you shall eat, or what you shall wear, or where you shall sleep, but seek first the kingdom of God and his justice.” —Walter Ciszek, SJ An excerpt from Recommended Products {$recommendation_0_name} Rose-Scented Red Wood Rosary Italian Wood Rosary & St. Benedict Rosary Box Italian Wood Rosary & St. Benedict Rosary Box Examination of Conscience The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It's very simple, and it's designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life. Basically, it consists in taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God's commandments. The Act of Contrition is often said afterwards. The daily examination also serves as an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. Reflect on the victories and losses Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day. Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in? In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage? Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit's promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration? Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow. Act of Contrition O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen. Practice gratitude It is God's love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day. Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today? What people or moments helped you see God in your life? Thank God for all these moments! Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow. Renew your commitment to Christ Remember our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him. Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples. Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally. If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act. Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer. Rest with God In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for Thou alone, O Lord, makest me dwell in safety. — Psalm 4:8 Compline Read Now Want to reach 2.6 million Catholics?
