Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Monday, April 19, 2010

The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent and believe in the Gospel.
- Mark 1:15

Reflection: A sincere and zealous reformer will avoid extremes and never overstep the bounds of true reform. The true reformer will always be united the closest bonds with the Church of Christ, her Head.
- Pope Pius X

Prayer: O Lord, we have heard that virtue lies in the middle, and that extremes bring division. Teach me to balance my opinions so that I may serve love and not my own pet theories.
