Momma always said, “Son, you don’t like something? Well, offer it up!”

Daily Reflection – Giving Pain and Suffering a Purpose
Minute Meditation – Let God be God
Let God be the God of your life; let go of all the things you think you need to be or of the things you think you need to do. Stop trying to control your life and your destiny and allow yourself to be loved by God who accepts you as you are, in your truest self, and desires you as you are, with all your fragile limits. This God of compassionate love is closer to you than you are to yourself. God knows your pain and your sufferings: God is the compassionate One.

Meditation of the Day – It is Pleasing to Him When We Bear Every Pain and Fatigue for the Salvation of Souls
“Very pleasing to Me, dearest daughter, is the willing desire to bear every pain and fatigue, even unto death, for the salvation of souls, for the more the soul endures, the more she shows that she loves Me; loving Me she comes to know more of My truth, and the more she knows, the more pain and intolerable grief she feels at the offenses committed against me.”— God to St. Catherine of Siena, p. 9
