Today’s Reading

Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Matthew 14:22-33

In today's gospel reading, is the powerful story of Jesus walking on the water and Peter attempting to do the same. Because this is such an epic event, we can easily miss the important event of prayer. At the beginning of the gospel, Jesus dismisses the crowd, sends the disciples off and goes off to pray alone. May we learn from our Lord the value of personal prayer, personal holiness. Take time daily to be alone with our God. It will change your life.

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.
