Minute Meditations

We need to be in right relationship with people, so that other people can love us at deeper levels, and so we can love them too.

Where do you instinctively make decisions—your head, heart, or gut? Which do you consider the most trustworthy?

Everything is thereby holy and worthy of care, and reverence, and a song of God’s praise.

St. Bonaventure said of his holy father Francis that he was a true teacher because he learned the truth of God’s revelation.

Francis not only repaired the little house of San Damiano, but the larger house where God dwells, Earth itself.

In a true fraternity the friars have learned to see their own brokenness, their jealousy, their desire for power.
