Friday in the Twelfth Week of Ordinary Time

We pray the Church’s daily prayers and offerings, then sit with Saint Gregory of Nyssa as he explains why seeing God means possessing every true good. We wrestle with whether purity of heart is impossible and hear why God’s promises fit our nature and are fulfilled in the lives of the saints. • Opening prayers and daily offering through the Immaculate Heart of Mary • Saint Gregory of Nyssa on blessedness and the vision of God • “To see is to have” as a biblical way of speaking about sharing in God’s glory • The Beatitudes and why purity of heart matters • The fear that holiness is impossible and why that fear can discourage us • God’s commands as fitted to the nature He created • Moses, Paul, and John as witnesses that blessedness is real • Psalm prayers of thirst for God and longing to behold His face If you found this time of prayer and reflection fruitful and would like more opportunities to grow in your faith, consider joining the Cristeros and purchasing our publications now available on Amazon.com. The Cristeros app is available on the Apple App and Google Play Store. More information on the Cristeros can be found at theCristeros.org.Send us Fan Mail
