Daily Scripture, February 26, 2026
Instead, Jesus promises that if we ask for anything, we will receive “good things”. In other words, we will receive what we need, not necessarily what we want.
Escritura Diaria, 26 de Febrero 2026
Más bien, Jesús promete que, si pedimos, recibiremos “cosas buenas”. En otras palabras, recibiremos lo que necesitamos, no necesariamente lo que queremos.
Daily Scripture, February 10, 2026
Liturgy, our prayers, and our obedience are important, absolutely, but they are not the ultimate point. They are the means by which we are fed so we can enter into something deeper, enabling us to bring in the outcast, feed the hungry, defend the powerless, stand against injustice, and live as Jesus did.
Escritura Diaria, 10 Febrero 2026
Son los medios por los cuales somos alimentados para poder entrar en algo más profundo, que nos capacita para acoger al excluido, alimentar al hambriento, defender al indefenso, enfrentar la injusticia y vivir como vivió Jesús.

Perhaps hope, instead of being based on circumstances or on human motivations, is based on the “one who is true.”
Daily Scripture, December 10, 2025
And because time is short, Advent and Christmas remind me that just as Mary carried and bore Godself, I am to work tirelessly, using my gifts and talents to the full, to continue the work of birthing God into the world.
Daily Scripture, November 10, 2025
As a present-day disciple, I want God to increase my faith. But that means it’s up to me to open doors, take down walls and barriers, and tap into the ever-present love of the God who longs for me.
Daily Scripture, October 10, 2025
Perhaps this week we can all pray for a good interior housecleaning, calling on the help of Jesus, the saints and angels, all those living and dead whom we love, and even a good therapist!
