Minute Meditations

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.

Sometimes we resist conversion to the Lord’s way because we fear giving it full freedom will shrink our world, will make us more closed in.

The practice of solitude uncovers and heightens that uniqueness, and fraternal life deepens in the respect and support the brothers give to each one’s unique aloneness.

The life of Francis shows us that to appreciate the book of creation we must come to know ourselves as creatures of God and as creatures of creation.
