    Theme: Prayer

    “For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds.”

    — Matthew 7:8

    Meaning of Matthew 7:8

    Matthew 7:8 ties asking to receiving and seeking to finding. Prayer is not a hint. It is a persistent turn toward the Father who already knows what you need and still wants to be asked.

    Why Read a Daily Catholic Bible Verse?

    The Catholic Church has always encouraged the faithful to nourish themselves with Sacred Scripture. The Second Vatican Council taught that "ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ" (St. Jerome, quoted in Dei Verbum).

    A verse of the day is a small, repeatable habit: one line you can memorize, pray, and share. It does not replace the readings at Mass. The Lectionary follows the liturgical year. This page is personal prayer between Sundays — Psalms, Gospels, the letters of St. Paul, and the wisdom books.

    Bookmark this page and return each morning. The title shows today's reference so you can see, before you click, which passage is waiting.
