A Night Prayer
Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.

Examination of Conscience
The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.

Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.

God Has MORE For You!
God Has MORE For You!
It is really on my heart to start today with these words: God has MORE for you!
And I know how hard it can be to believe that when everything seems like it’s actually less…
When you’re perhaps living out your faith less consistently or praying less. When your bank account balance is less than ever, or when there is less love in your family.
May I make a suggestion? What if, even in the midst of feeling like you have “less”, you decide to give MORE—more love, more time, more listening? And yes, once again, MORE time with God.
I was recently struck by a moment when my neighbor gave me a huge zucchini from her garden, and her five-year-old son immediately responded, “but mom, that’s the biggest one we have! We should keep that one!”
Without hesitation, my friend looked over at her little garden, where the next—and even bigger—zucchinis were already growing.
He thought: “If we give away the biggest one, we’ll have less.” But, she knew there were more coming.
What if God is looking at your life in the same way today?
You see what has become less.
God sees what is already growing.
You see what you would have to give away.
God sees what He can entrust you with.
How often do we hold on to something because we are afraid that, in the end, we won’t have enough?
God invites us to trust Him because the “less” you have today is not the end of your story.
Proverbs 11 says: “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed” (Proverbs 11:25, NIV).
When God is your source, you can be sure there will ALWAYS be more growing 😉(see Psalms 36:5-9).
You don’t have to have MORE before you can give MORE.
Sometimes MORE begins when you place whatever little you have into God’s hands because He has MORE for you!
You are a miracle!

Before the telescope was invented, all that was known about the sky above was what could be seen with the naked eye.
Now, thanks to advances in modern technology, we are aware of far-off galaxies, stunning nebulas, and mysterious black holes. Now, we realize that our knowledge was (and still is) severely limited.
There’s something about staring up at a blanket of stars that beckons wonder. There’s something about a watercolor sunset that invites curiosity. There’s something about standing on top of a giant rock—that’s suspended on nothing in the middle of a massively complex universe—that invites worship.
We are merely discovering what God has put here in the first place. And the more we uncover, the more we are filled with awe.
Yes, the heavens remind us of God’s majesty; the skies remind us of His splendor. But they also remind us of how big He is and how small we are. They remind us of His vastness and our limitations, and of His independence and our utter dependence on Him.
So whenever you see a star-filled sky, are stopped in your tracks by a brilliant sunrise, or read about some extraordinary discovery on the fringes of space, don’t forget to praise the One who has created and sustained it all along.
