I am a soldier of Christ- combat is not permitted me.” -St. Martin of Tours Today’s Meditation“O my soul, contemplate the surpassing beauty of these citizens of paradise! They shine like a vast constellation of radiant stars, or even like the sun itself, in the splendid city of God.” —St. Aloysius GonzagaAn excerpt from Recommended ProductsOlive Wood Prayer Cube With Base Rose Gold & Sterling Silver Border Miraculous Medal NecklaceExamination of ConscienceThe daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life. Basically, it consists in taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments. The Act of Contrition is often said afterwards. The daily examination also serves as an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. Reflect on the victories and losses Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow. Act of Contrition O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen. Practice gratitude It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day.

Dear Peter,While the Redwoods Rising apprentice program is usually about young people learning from our restoration experts, we end up learning a lot from them, too. Take Francisco Saavedra—a two-time apprentice who shared his method for finding good luck in tough moments. (Who couldn’t use that these days?) As Francisco told us: “I keep something special inside my hard hat: a feather from a northern flicker—or pegoy in Yurok. The northern flicker is native to Northern California and can often be spotted drumming on trees or calling out through the forest. In Yurok tradition, the flicker is more than just a bird, it’s a symbol of good luck and medicine. Carrying this feather with me is a way to stay connected to that meaning, especially while working deep in the woods. The feather is a silent source of strength, protection, and presence during long days in the field. And hey … have you ever seen a flicker bird get hit by a falling log? I didn’t think so. That’s why I keep one in my hard hat. It works every time.”
To see what other must-have items Francisco carries into the field—and a brief glimpse into a day in the life of an apprentice—read his quick post,
