Father, I will that where I am, they also whom thou hast given me may be with me.
p. 74, Article VI, The Catechism of the Council of Trent

We hope that God’s world will become a better place, more hospitable to goodness, more hospitable to compassion, more hospitable to generosity, more hospitable to living together…

p. 22, The Book Of Joy

Discovering more joy does not … save us from the inevitability of hardship and heartbreak. In fact, we may cry more easily, but we will laugh more easily too. Perhaps we are just more alive. Yet as we discover more joy, we can face suffering in a way that ennobles rather than embitters. We have hardship without becoming hard. We have heartbreak without being broken.
p. 12, The Book of Joy, Archbishop Desmond Tutu

Salvation means the healing and rescue of a body that is brought back to the way it was intended.

p. 8, A surrendered yes, Rebekah Lyons

Without judging by appearances, look for the potential in those you meet.

p. 77, The Celtic Spirit, Caitlin Matthews

Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it already be kindled?

Thought of the Day reflections often draw strength from writers who understood suffering not as an abstract idea but as a lived experience. Ernest Hemingway is one of the few writers who can be mentioned among those who have this insight so clearly evident in their work. Indeed, war, loss and endurance were the main factors that influenced his life and literature very deeply. The author of many great and beloved books, he gave us one of the truest and most long-lasting insights on human resilience: “The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.” The line, as a Thought of the Day, resonates through the ages, suggesting that suffering is common but blooming is individual. It does not glorify torment; it simply admits harm and at the same time provides the hope of healing. Hemingway’s words remain a source of sober clarity rather than easy comfort in the times of conflicts, uncertainties, and personal failures that the world keeps going through and which are repeatedly testing it.

Proactive planning reduces stress, builds confidence, and enhances decision-making, proving that diligent preparation is the bedrock of achievement.
