St. Paul

Saint Paul's conversion begins in humility. He turns to God in his nothingness:
"What do you want me to do?"
Prayerful humility is the nourishment and root of his conversion;
persevering humility is what completes it.

Holiness

Real holiness is to be found specifically in conformity to God's will and in complete self-abandonment.

Jesus Master

May Jesus be the master of the house;
loved, listened to, followed and always looked upon as Way, Truth, Life.
May the Virgin Mary be the Mother of the household.
Grow more in knowledge, imitation and love of Saint Paul.

Epiphany

Englightened by God, the Magi began to understand that not human greatness or pomp elevate us, but humility. They understood the teaching of the Child: he wanted them to be humble and simple.

Prayer Life

Prayer life is the building block of every structure: from the material to the intellectual. It is so for the apostolate as for the sanctification of the individual.

Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

Mary is true Mother of the Church and of every grace-filled person. It is her task to englighten us, strengthen us and guide us to Jesus Christ.

The choice of a lesser sacrifice will result in a lesser reward.

Thought for the Day

Saint Thomas notes that to take delight in the word of God, in a spirit of faith, prepares for the vision of God in heaven. It is a necessary and decisive step.

The tendency to laziness, or at least to a lack of attention and to sluggishness in our work is called sloth. The slothful person seeks to avoid all effort and whatever requires toil. Work preserves us from many vices, as well as from useless or bad thoughts.
