The early Church grew in numbers daily. "Day by day the Lord added to their number those who were being saved" (Acts 2:47). The early Church grew daily because:
The Lord promises to give us daily bread (Mt 6:11) if we will live in Him daily (see Jn 15:5). Receive your daily bread. Receive the Lord.
| PRAYER: | Father, may every day of the rest of my life be a sacrifice pleasing to You. |
| PROMISE: | "The reason it hates you is that you do not belong to the world. But I chose you out of the world." –Jn 15:19 |
| PRAISE: | Pope St. Pius V lived an exemplary, humble life, both as a simple friar and later as a humble pope. |
