Minute Meditations

Joy sees the world as God intended; it is a reaction to all God is doing in our lives now and in the future.

When you hug a friend, make eye contact with a stranger, put a child on your lap, or caress a lover, you are opening yourself to allow God to communicate to another person through your body.

We return over and over to the same place, a connection to the unswerving, the unchanging: God.

Francis had a special affection for larks; he considered their brown feathers a sign of their closeness to God, of their humility.

Francis treated animals kindly because they pointed toward God. Do you allow the animal stories about Francis to point you toward God?

Regardless of our own financial situation, we all can be poor in spirit.
