Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Friday, November 20, 2009

If you honor the holy day by not following your accustomed ways or doing your own business...you will find your joy in the Lord. - Isaiah 58:13-14

Reflection: Perfection does not consist in lacerating the body. Rather it consists in curbing our perverse self-will.
- St. Catherine of Siena

Prayer: Heavenly Father, teach me to curb my wayward self-will. Instead of subjecting my body to my own whims, may I concentrate on doing Your Will in all things rather than my own.

[From: Every Day Is A Gift (Catholic Book Publishing Corp., New York)]
