Today's Devotional

He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep —John 10:13 (ESV).

Thought.— The wolf represents the heretic, sophist, the man of scandal, or any one who by word or example would draw the Christian into error or vice. Unless you fight against error and vice you are a hireling; you have no love for souls, nor for Jesus Christ who has redeemed souls by His own blood. What, then, would you be if you were to demand freedom for error and vice?

Prayer.— Jesus, inspire me with a constant hatred and a holy anger against error and vice.

Practice.— Think often of Jesus, who is ever thinking of you.

About the author and the source

Marin De Boylesve was a nineteenth-century French Jesuit. In addition to A Thought for Each Day of the Year, he wrote a short history of the popes. His meditations were made short on purpose so as not to put off readers. They were arranged according to the church year. This was the entry for Tuesday of the second week after Easter.
