A Night Prayer
Jesus Christ, my God, I adore You and thank You for all the graces You have given me this day. I offer You my sleep and all the moments of this night. I place myself and all my loved ones, wherever they may be, in Your sacred side and under the mantle of Our Blessed Mother. Let Your holy angels stand watch and keep us in peace. Amen.
Quote of the Day
“Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.” -Luke 1:30-31
Today’s Meditation
“Have you ever had a secret? …In the Gospel of Mark, we see that Jesus had a secret. Whenever he cast out a demon, the demon would reveal that Jesus was the Son of David, the Holy One of God. Jesus would call that infernal being to silence. Anytime someone would reveal that Jesus was the Messiah, especially in the Gospel of Mark, Jesus would usually ask them not to tell anyone, except for one place. Do you know where Jesus revealed himself as the Messiah in Mark’s gospel? It was on the Cross, where a Roman soldier, a pagan, said, “Truly this man was the Son of God” (Mark 15:39). This is where the Messianic secret was revealed. In the gospel of John, Jesus revealed himself to a Samaritan woman. Not just any Samaritan woman, but one who had not the best luck in her love life. He revealed himself to her as a way to reveal himself to us. He said, “I who speak to you am the Messiah, the anointed One; Christ, the one who was sent.” In times of anxiety, fear, and uncertainty, when things seem to be falling apart, it’s important to remember that Jesus is here. He is the Christ, and he is saying to you, “I am here to turn your problems and worries over to me.” —Made for Heaven: A Guided Lent Journal for Prayer and Meditation, Fr. Agustino Torres, CFR, pg. 105

Examination of Conscience
The 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, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.
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.
- Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today?
- What people or moments helped you see God in your life?
- Thank God for all these moments!
- Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow.
Renew your commitment to Christ
Remember: our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.
- Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples.
- Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally.
- If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act.
- Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.
Rest with God
He determines the number of the stars, He gives to all of them their names. — Psalm 147:4
