St. Peter Damian

Mark 8:27-33

St Therese of Lisieux remarked that she always attempted to see only the present moment, forgetting the past and taking good care not to anticipate the future. May we try to follow the example of Jesus and the saints by living in the present moment. Today, may we remember that yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift. Perhaps that is why it is called the present.
