Catholic Daily Drive: September 18th, 2025
Thursday, 18 September, 2025

Intro to the day: “Clearly, what God wants, above all, is our will, which we received as a free gift from God in creation and possess as though our own. When a man trains himself to acts of virtue, it is with the help of grace from God, from whom all good things come … The will is what man has, as his unique possession.” –Saint Joseph of CupertinoToday is Thursday of the Twenty-fourth Week of Ordinary Time. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of Bishop Canevin High School in Pittsburgh, PAIn the Gospel, Jesus demonstrates the mercy of God.Gospel: Luke 7:36-50Saint of the Day: Blesseds Daudi Okelo and Jildo IrwaMarian prayer for the day: The Depths of the Love of Your Heart – St. ThereseVirgin full of grace, I know that at Nazareth you lived modestly, without requesting anything more.Neither ecstasies, nor miracles, nor other extraordinary deeds enhanced your life, O Queen of the elect.The number of the lowly, “the little ones,” is very great on earth.They can raise their eyes to you without any fear.You are the incomparable Mother who walks with them along the common way to guide them to heaven.Beloved Mother, in this harsh exile, I want to live always with you and follow you every day.I am enraptured by the contemplation of you and I discover the depths of the love of your heart.All my fears vanish under your motherly gaze, which teaches me to weep and to rejoice!Amen.__________________To add intentions, get more resources and support, or if you would like to make a donation to support this podcast, visit us at missiondrivencatholic.com.
