Today's Reading from the Works of Saint Augustine:
Sermon 142, 5

Do not despair. Remember that you were loved when there was really nothing lovely about you at all. You were loved when you were ugly and deformed. You were loved before you were worthy of being loved. You were first loved and only afterward became lovable, worthy of being loved. Can you imagine what Jesus will do for you when cured, consider that he died for you when you were still sick and ungodly? If you really are greedy and want to possess everything, seek everything through humility. Through humility you will possess the Jesus-God who made all these things and thus in possessing him you will possess them too.

Today's Reflection:
Do Not Despair!

Two obstacles that prevent us from accepting Jesus, the Divine Doctor, are pride and despair. Pride makes us think we are not sick; despair makes us think we cannot be cured, and so we try to get as much out of this life as we can, thinking there is nothing on the other side of death. Augustine's words above encourage us not to despair because of our spiritual ugliness. Jesus has seen it all before. Indeed, he died because of it. Despite our spiritual hideousness, Jesus wants us to possess him and is even now waiting at the door of our soul, hoping we will let him in with his medicine.
~ Day by Day with Saint Augustine

Today's Gospel Reading:
Luke 6:6-11

On a certain sabbath Jesus went into the synagogue and taught,
and there was a man there whose right hand was withered.
The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely
to see if he would cure on the sabbath
so that they might discover a reason to accuse him.
But he realized their intentions
and said to the man with the withered hand,
"Come up and stand before us."
And he rose and stood there.
Then Jesus said to them,
"I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the sabbath
rather than to do evil,
to save life rather than to destroy it?"
Looking around at them all, he then said to him,
"Stretch out your hand."
He did so and his hand was restored.
But they became enraged
and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.

My Morning Offering
O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers, works, joys, and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Your Sacred Heart, in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, for the salvation of souls, the reparation of sins, the reunion of all Christians, and in particular for the intentions of the Holy Father this month. Amen.
Today's Meditation
"My Heart overflows with great mercy for souls, and especially for poor sinners. If only they could understand that I am the best of Fathers to them and that it is for them that the Blood and Water flowed from My Heart as from a fount overflowing with mercy. For them I dwell in the tabernacle as King of Mercy. I desire to bestow My graces upon souls, but they do not want to accept them. You, at least, come to Me as often as possible and take these graces they do not want to accept. In this way you will console My Heart. Oh, how indifferent are souls to so much goodness, to so many proofs of love! My Heart drinks only of the ingratitude and forgetfulness of souls living in the world. They have time for everything, but they have no time to come to Me for graces."
Jesus to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, 367
