Saint of the Day

St. Margaret of Antioch (1st century)
Margaret was the daughter of a pagan priest, but was brought up a Christian by her nurse. She was disowned by her father when she refused to marry a Roman prefect. She was subjected to tortures which left her unharmed, and was decapitated.

Reflections from the Saints

My hope is in Christ, who strengthens the weakest by His Divine help. His Power is infinite, and if I lean on him, it will be mine. His Wisdom is infinite, and if I look to Him for counsel, I shall not be deceived. His Goodness is infinite, and if my trust is stayed in Him, I shall not be abandoned.

Life in Christ: Catechism #2342

Self-mastery is a long and exacting work. One can never consider it acquired once and for all. It presupposes renewed effort at all stages of life. The effort required can be more intense in certain periods, such as when the personality is being formed during childhood and adolescence.
