1. Fr. Roger Landry on “God’s ‘Strong’ Mercy.”
2. St. Teresa of Jesus (via Divine Intimacy today):
Whoever lives in the presence of so good a friend and excellent a leader, who went ahead of us to be the first to suffer, can endure all things. The Lord helps us, strengthens us, and never fails; he is a true friend ….

4. From St. Athanasius in the Liturgy of the Hours today:
The almighty and most holy Word of the Father pervades the whole of reality, everywhere unfolding his power and shining on all things visible and invisible. He sustains it all and binds it together in himself. He leaves nothing devoid of his power but gives life and keeps it in being throughout all of creation and in each individual creature.
5. Wow:

6. From Fr. Steve Grunow’s homily today:
If priests are to be holy, then the people whom they minister too must help them, and if the people are to be holy, then the priests must help them. If this reciprocity breaks down, the result is the terrible situation described in the Book of Samuel- or worse.
7. Do you know about Kathleen Beckman’s book on praying for priests?
8. This post on pain could be an advertisement for the pope’s new book on God and mercy. Don’t lick wounds, let them be healed.
9. Same goes for the meditation in Magnificat today, which ends with: “Grace can find a foothold in every humble plea.”
10. Pope Francis this morning: Ask for the gift of faith.
