Minute Meditations

The resurrection, the foundation of Christian hope, is knitted into the very sinews of every deciduous ash, aspen, beech, birch, cherry, elm, and hickory tree.

The goal of prayer is to make Jesus Christ alive in the believer. To bring Christ to life is the way to peace.

Prayer lifts us out of the doldrums of mediocrity and complacency and draws us into the mystery of Christ.

Why would God summon us to be disciples of his beloved Son? In the words of a Sufi master: “I chose to call you because you need it more than the others!”

We cannot rewrite history—though it is our duty to learn from it. And there is a legacy for us to fall back on.

Jesus said that love is acts, that you have to do something when you love.
