10 Catholic Things that Caught My Eye Today (Feb. 26, 2016)

1. “Remember the marvels the Lord has done!”

2. “God’s mercy intervenes. God always seeks to bring good out of evil and in both cases God’s goodness triumphed over the worst of human wickedness.”

More from Fr. Roger Landry’s homily today here.

3. And from Fr. Lawrence Lew, O.P.:

notice that God’s grace and mercy is always greater; his Providence is always working out his purposes even out of the pettiness and sinful ingredients of our lives! For if we have just the small mercy of Reuben – that small opening for grace – then God can and will act to bring good out.

4. Some additional thoughts from Cardinal Dolan:

5. From St. Irenaus in the Office of Readings of the Liturgy of the Hours today:

The precepts that belong to man’s nature and to freedom and to all alike have been enlarged and broadened. Through the adoption of sons God had enabled man so generously and bountifully to know him as Father, to love him with his whole heart, and to follow his Word unfailingly.

6. God does not want us to act by ourselves.
