"I place trust in God, my creator, in all things; I love Him with all my heart."
-- Saint Joan of Arc

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

“Discernment is the narrative reading of good times and dark times that we experience throughout our lives. It is the heart that speaks to us about God, and we must learn to understand its language.”
-- Pope Francis

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

"Witness, not theory, is the measure of the spirituality we profess. What we do because of what we say we believe is the real mark of genuine spirituality."
-- Sr. Joan Chittister, OSB

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

God our Father, great and merciful is your law of love. Direct our hearts on the path of holy living, that in our final hour we may come to rest with you in your heavenly kingdom. Through Christ our Lord. Amen!

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

O God of glory, you are our shelter against the burning heat of the day and the storms of life. Help us when we stumble, catch us when we fall, and guide our steps firmly in faith toward the promise of eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

@SVDChicago Thank you for your support and encouragement. To God be the glory!

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

O God, you were pleased to give joy to the world through the Resurrection of your Son. Grant, we beseech you, that through the mediation of the Virgin Mary, his Mother, we may obtain the joys of life everlasting. Amen!

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

Father, we look to you and trust you. Let our trust in you bring us to that perfect union that we seek as your sons and daughters. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen!

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

O Lord our God, you alone are God, and there is no other. Grant us an undivided heart, to love and serve you with all our mind and all our strength, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

"O God of light and glory, you are the beauty we seek, the power to whom we entrust ourselves, the love for whom we hunger and thirst. Make yourself known to all people through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!"
-- Magnificat Daily Missal

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

"Jesus makes use of everything to save us. How astonished we will be in heaven when we see that! Some make him a judge who strikes men down and seeks revenge, whereas in fact he seeks to save us by all possible means."
-- Fr. Jean du Coeur de Jésus d’Elbée

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

Jesus, I want to be Your manger. I want You to come and meet me in my darkest times. I want You to embrace me where I am most sinful. I want You to heal me. I want You to rescue me. Jesus, love me in this moment. I am Your manger. Be born into my life!
-- Bo Sanchez

@Fr_Toby Please know that I join you in praying for the repose of the soul of your dear grandmother. May you take comfort in knowing that she's now enjoying God's loving embrace for all eternity!

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

"Do everything as if He were dwelling in us. Thus we shall be His temples and He will be within us as our God -- as He actually is.”
-- St. Ignatius of Antioch

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

O God, you have kept your covenant with every generation. In a world shadowed by the many infidelities of frail humanity, grant us faith in your enduring love, through Christ our Lord. Amen!

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

Lord God of time and timelessness, you order all things according to your wise designs. Grant us discerning hearts, that we may know and love and serve your plan, through Christ our Lord. Amen!

[Adam MacDonald @AMacDonaldSVD]

Loving Father, increase our devotion to the most holy ­rosary, and draw us ever closer to you through the intercession of the Mother of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen!

What to do when all the Social Media platforms you're accustomed to using on a daily basis go offline all at once? Pour yourself an extra cup of coffee and look up your Twitter password! #ThisTooShallPass

“You do what God has called you to do. You show up. You put one foot in front of another. No matter how big the call. No matter how small. You have no idea what God is calling you to do. But he needs you. He needs me. He needs all of us.”
-- Fr. Mychal Judge (1933-2001)
