    Spiritual Arms: Five Minutes for the Battle

    Kick off your day with 5 minutes of faith!

    Revised Standard Version (RSV) translation

    New Testament:

    • Luke 2:1-6

    • John 6:22-58

    Old Testament:

    • Exodus 16:11-15

    • Exodus 16:31

    Catechism of the Catholic Church:

    • Paragraph 1265

    • Paragraph 2837

    Takeaways:

    • Take a moment to reflect on how much God loves us. He gave us His only Son, welcomes us into His family through Baptism, and strengthens us through the Sacraments — especially Holy Communion.

    • In the Eucharist, Jesus humbles Himself under the appearance of bread and wine, but we truly receive His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. That’s how deeply He loves us.

    • It’s okay to struggle with doubts about God and the Church. If you have doubts, spend time in Eucharistic Adoration, read and pray with John 6:22–58, talk to your parish priest, and go to Confession if you need it. Jesus is waiting for you with mercy and grace.

  • Spiritual Arms: Five Minutes for the Battle - Mark 16:14-18
    Dec 22 2025

    Spiritual Arms: Five Minutes for the Battle

    Kick off your day with 5 minutes of faith!

    New American Bible (NAB) translation

    New Testament:

    • Mark 16:14-18

    • 1 Peter 3:15-16

    • John 15:5

    Old Testament:

    • Isaiah 52:7

    Catechism of the Catholic Church:

    • Paragraph 849

    Takeaways:

    • In the 'infancy' of our faith, we tend to be reluctant when it comes to going out and sharing the Gospel with others.

    • Evangelization is not an option when you are a Christian; it is mandatory!

    • We are called to be 'missionary disciples'; as such, we must keep our personal relationship with Jesus at the forefront of our minds.

    • The best ways to stay close to Christ and deepen our relationship with Him are through prayer, reading scripture, frequent reception of the Sacraments, and studying the teachings of the Church.

    • In doing so, we can preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to a hurting world!
