Minute Meditations

Francis knew he was dying. A doctor friend from Arezzo had come to visit him and told him that with God’s grace, all would be well.

Love God and do as you will, says St. Augustine, for love is its own commandment.

Everyone who goes down to the crypt and kneels in front of the tomb feels that something under that massive granite is still moving.

Francis kindled his desire for God by constantly striving to overcome obstacles in his life that prevented him from relationship with God.

For Scotus, God never merely reacts but always supremely and freely acts, and acts totally out of love.

Water always and forever seeks the lower, and even the lowest, place.
