This Day's Thought

Take all the pleasures of all the spheres,
And multiply each through endless years,—
One minute of heaven is worth them all.

Thomas Moore

This Day's Verse

David sang to the Lord the words of this song when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—from violent people you save me.

2 Samuel 22:1-3
The New International Version

This Day's Thought
God is a light that is never darkened; an unwearied life that cannot die; a fountain always flowing; a garden of life; a seminary of wisdom; a radical beginning of all goodness.

This Day's Thought

God, who is everywhere, never leaves us. Yet he seems sometimes to be present, sometimes absent. If we do not know him well, we do not realize that he may be more present to us when he is absent than when he is present.

Thomas Merton

This Day's Verse

For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. That is why he is the one who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant.

Hebrews 9:14-15
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

In friendship your heart is like a bell struck every time your friend is in trouble.

This Day's Thought

God does not belong to the class of existing things…not that he has no existence, but that he is above all existing things, nay even above existence itself.

John of Damascus

This Day's Verse

For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

1 Corinthians 11:26
The New International Version

The Lord’s goodness surrounds us at every moment. I walk through it almost with difficulty, as through thick grass and flowers.

This Day's Thought

Christ showed His love in deed, not in word, and you will be touched by the thought of His cross far more by bearing it after Him, than by glowing accounts of it.

John Henry Newman

This Day's Verse

Then he said to the disciples, “Anyone who accepts your message is also accepting me. And anyone who rejects you is rejecting me. And anyone who rejects me is rejecting God, who sent me.”

Luke 10:16
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

I am so made that worry and anxiety are sand in the machinery of life: faith is oil.

This Day's Thought

I once picked up a small girl who was wandering the streets, lost. Hunger was written all over her face. Who knows how long it had been since she had eaten anything! I offered her a piece of bread. The little one started eating, crumb by crumb. I told her, “Eat, eat the bread! Aren’t you hungry?” She looked at me and said, “I am just afraid that when I run out of bread, I’ll still be hungry.”

Mother Teresa

This Day's Verse

In everything the prudent acts with knowledge, but a fool flaunts his folly.

Proverbs 13:16
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Pray the largest prayers. You cannot think a prayer so large that God, in answering it, will not wish you had made it larger. Pray not for crutches but for wings.

This Day's Thought

“In you alone do I have all.” Such words are dear indeed unto the soul, and very close to the will and goodness of God. For he himself is eternity, and has made us for himself alone, has restored us by his blessed passion and keeps us in his blessed love. And all because he is goodness.

Julian of Norwich

This Day's Verse

Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor.

1 Corinthians 10:24
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Smile

Mystery is beyond human reason but it is not against reason.

Religion consists not in knowing many things but in practicing the few plain things we know.

It is he who made the earth by his power, who established the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.

Jeremiah 10:12
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile
