Catholic Daily Drive: February 19th, 2026
Catholic Daily Drive
Intro to the day: "As Lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus’ thirst…He knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you.” –Saint Teresa of Calcutta Today is Thursday after Ash Wednesday. We are praying for the faculty, staff, and families of the Diocese of Erie Catholic Schools. In the Gospel, Jesus tells us we must deny ourselves to follow Him. Gospel: Luke 9:22-25 Saint of the Day: Blessed John Sullivan Marian prayer for the day: Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows - St. Bridget O Blessed Virgin Mary, Immaculate Mother of God, who didst endure a martyrdom of love and grief, beholding the sufferings and sorrows of Jesus! Thou didst co-operate in the benefit of my redemption by thy innumerable afflictions and by offering to the Eternal Father His only-begotten Son as a holocaust and victim of propitiation for my sins. I thank thee for the unspeakable love which led thee to deprive thyself of the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus, true God and true Man, to save me, a sinner. Oh! make use of the unfailing intercession of thy sorrows with the Father and the Son, that I may steadfastly amend my life and never again crucify my loving Redeemer by new sins; arid that, persevering till death in His grace, I may obtain eternal life through the merits of His Cross and Passion. Amen. _________________ To add intentions, get more resources and support, or if you would like to make a donation to support this podcast visit us at missiondrivencatholic.com.
