Minute Meditations

This is the Franciscan challenge in our own time: contemplative seeing, affective response, practical help, and sustained assistance.

Let us pray, let us always pray in the serenity of our faith and with tranquility of soul.

Do not be in doubt about receiving divine assistance, and do not lean on yourself to deal with these multiple afflictions that constantly surround you.

I’ve always loved a good mystery. There’s a sense of adventure in not always knowing what’s in store for me.

Let your whole life be spent in self-surrender, in prayer, in work, in humility, in giving thanks to our good God.

God can come through our locked doors, stand inside our fear and paralysis, and breathe out peace.
