Minute Meditations

The love of Jesus Christ that leads to his willing embrace of the crucified earthly destiny that appeared before him is both a model for how we are called to love and a revelation of God’s self-offering of control out ...

If love is the free surrender of one’s control, then suffering is the involuntary taking of that control away.

Considering Pope Francis' debilitating health issues, my mind always goes back to when his papacy was announced to the world.

Both Christ and St. Francis show us that they suffered what we suffered, but they suffered in love, and that makes all the difference.

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.
