“You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God.”
Reflection for Today
Today's Catholic verse of the day is John 8:41: “You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God.”
The Church treasures John because the Gospel is the face of Christ in human language, meant to be heard with faith. Read in Catholic faith, this is not a decorative sentence for social media. It is a living word meant to convert, console, and send us back into ordinary life with a quieter heart.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of John 8:41 remain. If possible, bring this line to Mass or to a brief visit before the Blessed Sacrament. Let Christ finish in silence what the verse began in your thoughts.
Prayer
Father of mercies, I bring You this day and this verse from John 8:41. As I listen to “You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of…,” heal what is anxious in me, correct what is proud, and strengthen what is willing to love. Amen.
