Minute Meditations

The tension within each of us is not necessarily bad and is not sinful. Like our human emotions, the tension our longing causes is neutral.

Once we acknowledge the reality of our society, we must do what we can to live the ideal we seek to the best of our abilities. 

How blind are we to many of the situations around us? Are we too caught up in our own little worlds?

For St. Francis, this search for himself began and ended by asking the only one whose opinion mattered: Jesus.

Being his disciple means transforming every aspect of our lives so that nothing, not even the smallest part of who we are, is out of touch with the mission of Christ.

Each and every one of us has been created differently, for God’s own glory, and we each have our own path to follow.
