The Power of “Tiny” Prayers
“I strongly suspect that if we saw all the difference even the tiniest of our prayers to God make, and all the people those little prayers were destined to affect, and all the consequences of those effects down through the centuries, we would be so paralyzed with awe at the power of prayer that we would be unable to get up off our knees for the rest of our lives.” – Peter Kreeft
Year of Mercy Calendar for Today: “It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.” Bl. Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Today the Church honors
Nicodemus, the member of the
Sanhedrin who was a secret
follower of Jesus. He convinced
the other members that Jesus
was entitled to a trial, and later
helped St. Joseph of Arimathea
prepare Jesus for burial.
