Let yourself be swept up into the brightness and glory of God. It is a gift that Father, Son and Holy Spirit have bestowed on you and me.

A few years ago, I began reflecting upon the Apostles’ Creed from the viewpoint of God’s love.

In embracing the leper, Saint Francis experienced a singular moment of grace.

Her purity, her tenacity, her openness to others—these and other attributes keep St. Kateri close to her followers’ hearts.

The essence of prayer consists in humble waiting—in a childlike spirit of openness, expectation, and listening.

As we strive to respect God’s earth, let us love the natural world as they did.
