Minute Meditations

I was looking for a world-affirming way to become a mystic activist for our time.

Initiative and hard work matter, but achievement is shaped by what we’ve been given, not just what we’ve earned.

Prayer is grounded in the profound interdependence of life. Our prayers of gratitude remind us that no one is self-sufficient.

We need the Franciscan vision of all creation singing praises to the Creator if we are to flourish in the years and centuries to come.

Where love is genuine, belonging is always mutual. It is like submerging ourselves into an ocean of sublime grace.

Gratefulness can be practiced, cultivated, learned. And as we grow in gratefulness, we grow in mindfulness.
