Find what you’re looking for
Take a break today from the burden of the day’s news, and the cacophony of social media. In that stillness, let the soft healing of the Holy Spirit fill in those spaces where you usually find worry.
I will meditate on you. “You indeed are my savior, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy” (Ps 63:8).
Joseph makes his brothers promise to take his bones back to Canaan with them when the time comes for the Israelites to return from Egypt. God’s plans seem to be reaching a conclusion.
God promises that he will bring Abraham’s family out of Egypt and back to Canaan in his own time, in his own way.
My hope is that someday my kids will discover their own personal chapels—wherever that may be.
God had been secretly at work the whole time. To provide safety to Jacob’s family, God had arranged to bring Joseph into Egypt, followed by the rest of the family.
In this week’s Gospel, Jesus sends out the disciples to share his message with all those they encounter, but warns that they may not always be welcomed.
Christians today are commissioned to take a message to the world that is more and more prophetic, more and more calculated to meet with rejection.
The hand of God works not only in visions and dreams, but in the seemingly detached decisions of men which God weaves into his divine plan.
Like St. Maria Goretti, we must strive to forgive all, just as God does.
