Theme: Daily Scripture
“Give a portion to seven, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.”
Reflection for Today
Today's Catholic verse of the day is Ecclesiastes 11:2: “Give a portion to seven, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.”
Ecclesiastes belongs to the wisdom books, where faith meets daily decisions. Holiness is not only for extraordinary moments; it is learned in ordinary choices. 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.
Today's invitation under the theme of Daily Scripture is simple and serious. 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
Come, Holy Spirit. Open the Scriptures to me as You opened them to the apostles. In Ecclesiastes 11:2 I hear, “Give a portion to seven, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what evil shall be…” Give me understanding, give me desire, and give me the grace to obey with joy. Amen.
