Today’s Reading

Fourth Sunday of Lent

John 9:1-41

Notice in today's gospel, the man born blind is questioned repeatedly by the Pharisees. They want to trap him into saying something to condemn Jesus. But Jesus is the Truth! And Jesus is vindicated by the truth.
The words of the blind man are so simple and yet so profound. "“If he is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know is that I was blind and now I see.”
May we always remember, the Truth will set us free.

About Us

Mission

We could find no better way to describe the purpose of Daily Beatitude than the Prologue of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Paragraph 1:

God, infinitely perfect and blessed in himself, in a plan of sheer goodness freely created man to make him share in his own blessed life. For this reason, at every time and in every place, God draws close to man. He calls man to seek him, to know him, to love him with all his strength. He calls together all men, scattered and divided by sin, into the unity of his family, the Church. To accomplish this, when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son as Redeemer and Savior. In his Son and through him, he invites men to become, in the Holy Spirit, his adopted children and thus heirs of his blessed life.

Content

We are called to live in beatitude. This contemplation is one designed to help us incorporate the beatitudes into our day. This work is not one of absolutes. It is just one way to incorporate the countenance of Jesus into each day. It is not the only way. View our rationale.

Each day a different beatitude is presented with several points of focus that provide meditation. An additional reading is included daily related to the beatitude or one of the points of focus. All readings are archived for your convenience.
