Daily Liturgy — January 21, 2026
Today the Church celebrates the Memorial of Saint Agnes, Virgin and Martyr, and the liturgy invites us to reflect on courage, fidelity, and the quiet strength that comes from trusting God completely. As we continue through the Second Week in Ordinary Time, the readings place before us two powerful images of faith in action: the youthful confidence of David as he faces Goliath, and the steady, uncompromising mercy of Christ as He heals on the Sabbath. Together, they remind us that God’s power is often revealed not through force or status, but through obedience, humility, and love that refuses to yield to fear.

Why Most Relationships Fail — Even When Love Feels Real. AI-Generated.
Why Love Alone Is Not Enough Most people grow up believing that love is the most important ingredient in a successful relationship. Movies, books, and social media constantly reinforce the idea that if two people truly love each other, everything else will somehow fall into place. Unfortunately, real life tells a very different story.

The Woman Behind the Name
I used to think being known was a gift. Then I watched a woman walk into a room and become invisible the moment her husband’s name was called. One minute, she was herself—sharp-eyed, quick-witted, full of stories. The next, she was “the wife of,” a footnote in someone else’s narrative. Her degrees, her work, her dreams—all folded neatly into parentheses.

Daily Liturgy: January 20, 2026 – Tuesday of the Second Week in Ordinary Time
Today’s readings invite us to reflect on God’s extraordinary insight into human hearts and the gentle ways He calls us to serve Him. In the first reading from 1 Samuel, the prophet Samuel is sent to anoint the future king of Israel. When he sees Jesse’s sons, he is impressed by their outward appearances, but the Lord reminds him, “The Lord looks at the heart.” Samuel anoints David, the youngest son, a humble shepherd, chosen not for what the world sees but for what God perceives within. This reading teaches that God often works through the seemingly ordinary, calling forth greatness in ways that defy human expectation. The psalm echoes this theme, celebrating the faithfulness and guidance God grants to His chosen servants, reminding us that God’s perspective is always higher, wiser, and deeper than our own.

Making Time for God: Daily Prayer in a Busy Life
Life is busy. Work, family, errands, and responsibilities often fill every corner of the day, leaving little space for reflection or prayer. Yet daily prayer is one of the most powerful tools a Catholic has for staying grounded, cultivating patience, and experiencing God’s presence in every moment. Finding ways to integrate prayer into a busy life is not about creating a rigid schedule; it is about building habits that allow moments of connection, however brief, to become transformative.

Understanding the Sacraments and Why They Matter
The Catholic Church teaches that the sacraments are more than rituals or traditions. They are encounters with God, tangible ways to experience His grace and presence in our lives. Each sacrament has a unique purpose, a moment where faith becomes visible, and life meets the sacred. Understanding why the sacraments matter is an invitation to see how God works in both ordinary and extraordinary ways.

The Trouble with /My/ Time
Today is supposed to be my fresh start to a new week, but I am still reeling with the realization that my private property means absolutely nothing to my children's father, that my parenting time and my personal plans are irrelevant enough to him to risk our child going without the prescription drink he needs - just because said adult's schedule is the sole valuable one?, and that there is likely nothing I can do to stop this behavior from simply continuing.

Florida Business Insurance Requirements
Running a business in Florida means operating in one of the most dynamic—and complex—risk environments in the country. Between climate exposure, legal requirements, contractual obligations, and industry-specific risks, insurance is not just a formality. It is a structural component of how a business survives disruptions, disputes, and unexpected losses.
