Reflection for Today
Today's Catholic verse of the day is 2 Maccabees 14:35: “Thou, O Lord of all things, who wantest nothing, wast pleased that the temple of thy habitation should be amongst us.”
2 Maccabees, received in the Catholic canon, shows courage, fidelity, and providence when God's people are tested. A single verse can meet us differently depending on the season we are in: grief, gratitude, fatigue, or new beginnings.
If nothing else remains from this page, let one phrase of 2 Maccabees 14:35 remain. Write one sentence of response in a notebook or phone note: what you hear God asking, promising, or healing. Then do one small act that matches that sentence.
