Minute Meditations

On the day of your canonization as the first saint born in  the United States, I happily anticipated the well-deserved attention your remarkable life would receive.

Wind, water, fire, and earth are creation’s basic elements that work together to sustain life.

The saints draw us into the conversation of faith, life, and the ways in which we can love each other and, in doing so, love God.

With God’s help through the intercession of the saints, may our world be set free from war, violence, and terrorism.

This is what Jesus desires to invite us into: a contentment that is not dependent on who we are but on who he is.

Like Christ, who died upon another tree, our oak had to expire in order to inspire.
