Minute Meditations

One of our deepest longings as human beings, as social beings, is to be understood even in our most perplexing and difficult moments.

Knowing that one is being prayed for can open a person’s soul to be receptive to hope.

Juan Diego reminds us to keep our ears attuned to God rather than keeping our eyes on the clock.

Forgiveness is not a feeling. It is a decision, an act of the will, a resolution, a firm choice to free ourselves from the continued influence and control of the adversary.

You don’t have to “believe” in Santa Claus to get into the spirit of the season or to be uplifted by its special charm.

Like Saint Francis, we too must clear an interior space and empty ourselves for peace to blossom within our lives and the lives of others.
