Scripture, Reflection and Prayer for Monday, August 09, 2010

God proves His love for us by the fact that Christ died for us when we were still sinners
- Romans 5:8

Reflection: A soul is a great treasure and a rich deposit. For the eternal Wisdom, Who cannot be deceived, regarded it as more precious than His own Blood.
- St. Bernard

Prayer: Heavenly Father, let me never forget the incomparable value of my immortal soul. Help me to be willing to die rather than risk doing anything to lose that soul.
