Minute Meditations

The spirituality of St. Francis is not so much about the heroic deed as it is about the heroic love with which even the smallest deed is done.

Once Francis knew God’s will, whether from some mystical voice or from listening to the scriptures, he would immediately try to live it out.

Love was the reason for Jesus from all eternity.

Our children need us to help them become the people we imagine when we dream of their future.

That total abandonment to God would be Josephine’s legacy—and it is one we can work toward as 21st-century Catholics.

Despite our imperfections, God looks on the preparations of our hearts.
