Scripture, Reflection and Prayer 01/21/2009


For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
- 1 Cor 1:25


Reflection
: Despite her youth, St. Agnes experienced the victorious strength of the love of Christ. Sustained by that inner force, she was able to "conquer overwhelmingly." May she be your model of courage and generosity in every event of your life.

- Pope John Paul II


Reflection
: Teach me to trust in Your strength, O Lord, especially when I feel overwhelmed by my weakness. Help me to recall that I can conquer only by surrendering to Your love.


From: Minute Meditations from the Popes (Catholic Book Publishing Corp., New York)
