Grace:

Ask the Lord and Our Blessed Lady to give you strength to bear your crosses. They will bring you many graces, and they will bring your loved ones many graces as well. It is through bearing our crosses that God pours forth his grace more abundantly upon the world.

Humility - Faith:

In today’s Gospel, Simon Peter’s humility of trusting and obeying Jesus was rewarded with a big catch of fish that was beyond his expectations. We may be knowledgeable and talented in our fields, but we must always be humble and submit ourselves to God’s ways and wisdom found in Scripture and the Church.

As Jesus has chosen bread, which is very common, so must my life be, common ... approachable by all and, at the same time, humble and hidden, like bread.

- Blessed Eugenia Picco (1867-1921)
