Today’s Reflection: Dear Jesus, sometimes I don’t know how to live my faith in this culture so filled with confusing messages. The pressure to question my faith can be overwhelming. Guide me with Your  wisdom and grace in the many choices I face each day. May the Holy Spirit fill me with the strength to always follow the path that leads to You. – The Passionists of Holy Cross Province

Today’s Reflection: I have come to think that care of the soul requires a high degree of resistance to the culture around us, simply because that culture is dedicated to the values that have no concern for the soul. – Thomas Merton, American monk, theologian, writer, social activist. (1915-1968)

Today’s Reflection: Entertainment and consumption have practically become the point of life in our modern culture. Without time for serious thought processes, we are losing the ability to think deeply. We don’t even have time to wonder, What is the meaning of it all? Do we possess our possessions, or do they possess us? Do we consume pleasures and entertainment, or do they consume us? — Jeanette Flood, from her book Eight Ways of Loving God.
