For every heart that's tired of trying to hold it all together.
This is a place to pause with the daily Gospel, receive one meaningful word from Scripture, and be reminded that we do not walk through hard days alone.
Catholic by Faith is a nonprofit ministry sharing Daily Scripture in One Word™ devotionals rooted in the Gospel proclaimed at Mass each day and the Catechism.
Each daily reflection helps us pause, breathe a little deeper, and remember that God is still with us in the middle of everyday life.
Each day, I spend time
praying with the Gospel through
Lectio Divina.
As I sit with the reading, one word stands out and stays with me. That one word becomes the heart of the daily devotional, helping to carry the Gospel into everyday life.

What is Lectio Divina?
Download the Free Meditational GuideBelow are recent Facebook posts where Catholics around the world are praying with Scripture and carrying the Gospel into daily life through Daily Scripture in One Word™ devotionals.
Meet Beata
Her name means "blessed" in Latin.
She appears on each Daily Scripture in One Word™ post as a gentle reminder that before we do more, fix more, or carry more, we are already loved by God.
The Invitation
Enjoy each daily devotional in the quiet of the morning to center your heart, or gather with others through a parish or home Bible study to open conversation and grow in faith together.
Personal Stillness
Pause with Scripture and carry one word into your day. Read each devotional in under 2 minutes.
Community Discussions
Use the reflections in parish groups, Bible studies, or quiet conversations with others. Each group study takes about 45 minutes.
The Ministry
One Word
One Dollar
One Global Outreach
What began as a simple Lenten commitment has grown into a nonprofit Catholic ministry reaching readers around the world.
There was no large team behind it.
No marketing plan.
No big launch.
Just one daily promise: to pray with the Gospel proclaimed at Mass and share one devotional each day.
As people began reading, sharing, and returning, Catholic by Faith began testing small outreach efforts to help these daily devotionals reach Catholics in other parts of the world.
With just one dollar a day in outreach per country, Daily Scripture in One Word™ began appearing in thousands of Facebook feeds each day across the world.
We invite you to become a Global Outreach Partner and help us reach more hearts around the world through Facebook and daily online outreach.
With just a $1 donation, you help place Daily Scripture in One Word™ devotionals in front of Catholics searching for hope, peace, and encouragement in everyday life.
