Daily Reflections on Divine Mercy
Do you love with pure love? What does this form of love look like? Pure love is one that flows directly from the Heart of Christ to and through your life. This holy love has beautiful characteristics. First, it is plentiful. When we love with the Heart of Christ, we love in abundance. There is no limit to how much love we can share. It’s like the brightness of the sun at noon, casting rays on all below. Second, it’s ingenious: doing what pleases God. It is not cautious or calculated. It does not hesitate or evaluate. Rather, the wisdom of love is immediate and knows in each moment how to radiate God’s love. And third, it is happy. Even when love calls one to heroic sacrifice,e there is great delight in this total self-giving.
Reflect, today, upon how fully you love with a pure and generous heart. Do you give of yourself in abundance? Is it a delight to serve without counting the cost? Do you easily find ways to show Mercy to others and delight in doing so? Ponder these questions today and pray that the Lord shines through all you do.
Lord, please purify my heart and make it holy. Let my heart be joined to Yours so that I may radiate all that You are. Shine through me in abundance and guide me in pure love. Jesus, I trust in You.

Training the Tongue and Growing Beyond Sins of Speech | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P. – Gossip. Lying. Flattery. Crass words. As we grow in Christian maturity, many of us are aware that we fall frequently into sins of speech. We realize instinctually that these faults are holding us back from the fullness of life. But what can we do about them? Training the Tongue and Growing Beyond Sins of Speech promises to help us attain verbal virtue. As this brief book shows, by cultivating healthy habits, we can effectively crowd out sinful speech and experience the gift of our tongue as God intended.

Comme vous pouvez le constater sur cette nouvelle page : La Bible, nous affichons le verset du jour de BibleGateway et de la Nouvelle Bible Catholique, une version différente de celle de notre page « LECTURE DE LA MESSE » de l’AELF. Premièrement, il est très difficile de trouver quelque chose en français pour un site web ; deuxièmement, le verset catholique officiel du jour diffère de celui des protestants. De plus, les protestants diffèrent entre eux ; comme les baptistes, ils ne sont pas identiques aux pentecôtistes, qui, eux-mêmes, ne sont pas identiques aux anglicans.
Les lectures de notre site catholique anglais « Readings » de www.universalis.com et les lectures catholiques françaises de www.aelf.org/ (celle que nous utilisons pour la page « Lecture de la Messe ») sont identiques.
Comme vous pouvez le constater sur la page « La Bible », la recherche dans les Écritures de BibleGateway est en anglais ; vous n’avez rien à saisir ; cliquez sur la bannière en bas de la page pour accéder au site, où vous pouvez effectuer une recherche en français.
Attention: please note that three days ago, we began consolidating all our websites into a single site at https://franciscanseucharist.com/. You may encounter broken links; if so, please let us know so we can fix them. Pages that are doubled; we’re working on that, too.
Thank You!
