Minute Meditations

Hope cannot be bought or taught. It can only be received and awakened.

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.

We are invited into relationship with God who loves us and is faithful to us even when the world around us seems to fail.

In Joseph, who decided to send Mary away without disgracing her, we find the essence of what it means to be righteous.
