Minute Meditations

Our need to be both receivers and givers of mercy is the purpose of Christ’s presence among us.

The saints lived lives marked by the promise of liberation that Jesus brings forth through his life, death, and resurrection.

Throughout this canticle, we have seen how Francis saw God’s goodness, radiance and beauty in all creatures.

Humility is the guardian and the ornament of all virtues. If the spiritual building does not rest upon it, it will fall to ruin, though it seems to be growing.

Imagine how different Western history and religion could have been if we had walked so tenderly and lovingly upon the earth, as Francis and Jesus did.

We’re all called to be prophets and mystics.
