Catholic Verse of the Day

1 Samuel 26:17

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible verse for Monday, May 7, 2029, with reflection, prayer, and a link to the full chapter.

Theme: Daily Scripture

And Saul knew David's voice, and said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said: It is my voice, my lord the king.

1 Samuel 26:17

Reflection for Today

Let 1 Samuel 26:17 speak first, before our plans and worries do: “And Saul knew David's voice, and said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And David said: It is my voice, my lord the king.”

1 Samuel is part of the long story of salvation. Catholics receive it as inspired Scripture, a word that prepares the heart for Christ and still nourishes the Church. 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.

God often changes us less by thunder and more by a line of Scripture that will not leave us alone. Before the day runs away, sit with this verse for two quiet minutes. Say it slowly. Notice which word stays warm in the heart, and carry that word into one conversation.

Prayer

Father of mercies, I bring You this day and this verse from 1 Samuel 26:17. As I listen to “And Saul knew David's voice, and said: Is this thy voice, my son David? And David…,” heal what is anxious in me, correct what is proud, and strengthen what is willing to love. Amen.
