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.
Quote of the Night
“We must speak to them with our hands by giving, before we try to speak to them with our lips.” St. Peter Claver
Today's Meditation
"What is "fitting," therefore - what we must ask God for - is himself; to be united with him, to be transformed in him: to possess him and to be possessed by him. We should ask to enter, by grace, into such intimate relations with him as unite us to him; to become his sons by a communication as complete as possible of his Spirit of Love; to share in that joy and in that life which is his joy and his life: in short, to share in joy itself and Life itself. The Scriptures are full of this prayer, which is constantly bubbling up like water-springs on a high mountain. "The Lord is the portion of my inheritance, says the Psalmist (Ps. 15.5) ... For what have I in heaven, and besides thee what do I desire upon earth ... Thou art the God of my heart, and my portion for ever." —Dom Augustin Guillerand, pgs. 72, 25-6

Thirty Million People Watched Him. Then He Disappeared.
On September 24, in a stadium in St. Louis, Fulton Sheen will be declared Blessed.
And right now — two weeks out — a video about his life is climbing YouTube’s charts.
200,000 views in 2 days. Top 50 "Hyped" videos in the United States.
In 1952, he was given a Tuesday-night TV slot opposite Milton Berle — the star who was so famous they called him “Mr. Television.” Nobody expected Sheen’s show to go anywhere.
He drew as many as thirty million viewers a week. He received 8,500 letters of weekly fan mail. He won an Emmy over the biggest stars of the age.
Then, at the height of it, he was off the air.
It's a story about money, an influential cardinal, and a bishop who would not back down.
Watch the video.
Then tap "Hype" below the video. YouTube gives you three a week and most people never use one. Moving up the chart puts Fulton Sheen in front of millions of people who have never heard his name.

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.
Rest with God
In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for Thou alone, O Lord, makest me dwell in safety.
Psalm 4:8
