Father Jim’s Daily Reflection

Father Jim Radloff

Up at 4:30 am each day for prayer, Father Jim soon discovered that others were also seeking to start their day with a short inspirational quote from the Bible. So taking advantage of Social Media, he began sharing with others the fruits of his early morning prayer amongst Sacred Scriptures. Using Lectio Divina with the daily readings from the Catholic Mass, Father Jim was now presenting a reflection that could help people throughout their day. We are happy to share these thoughts with you.

(1 Maccabees 1:15,63) Many “abandoned the holy covenant … and sold themselves to wrong doing…. But many … preferred to die rather than … profane the holy covenant.”
 
Lord, strengthen my faith so that I would rather die before selling out to wrongdoing.
