Today I was in meeting and bunkered finishing an overdue project. But for anyone who finds these helpful, a few things even at this late hour:

What are you seeking? What is God whispering to you? The hope which never disappoints is Jesus Christ. Pope Benedict XVI

2. Dear Tobit was in the readings today.

In order to make disciples of the Lord Jesus we must first be disciples of the Lord Jesus.

4. From a homily from Fr. Roger J. Landry in New York today:

on this Feast of SS. Marcellinus and Peter, we ask God for the grace to learn from them, from Tobit and his Wife, how to give Him thanks for all of his blessings, because even when we seem to be missing a blessing — for Tobit, his sight, and for the martyrs, their lives — God is in fact planning to give us every greater blessings still. On this day on which we remember in whose image we’ve been made and thank him for all his generosity in giving himself for us, we respond by trying to conform our whole life according to the image of that generosity, giving our body, blood, sweat, tears, heart, mind, soul and strength to the One who gave everything to save us.

5. Idol Crushing Eucharistic Adoration

Just that at St. Francis Assisi in New York City today:

"With all my heart I seek You, do not let me stray from Your commandments. In my heart I treasure Your promises." Ps. 119

7. From Magnificat today, a flashback from Archbishop Charles J. Chaput which includes:

For Christians, the trinity of virtues we call faith, hope, and charity should shape everything we do, both privately and in our public lives. Faith in God gives us hope in eternal life. Hope casts out fear and enables us to love. And the love of God and other human persons—the virtue of charity—is the animating spirit of all authentically Christian political action. By love I don’t mean “love” in a sentimental or indulgent sense … I mean love in the Christian sense; love with a heart of courage, love determined to build justice in a society and focused on the true good of the whole human person, body and soul.

8. Are we praying for our Christian brothers and sisters under threat of and the hand of persecutors?

10. After an examination of conscience and Act of Contrition, a good prayer to end the day, from the Liturgy of the Hours every night:

Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake; watch over us as we sleep, that awake, we may keep watch with Christ, and asleep, rest in his peace.
