Minute Meditations

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.

The spirituality of St. Francis is not so much about the heroic deed as it is about the heroic love with which even the smallest deed is done.

The contours of the journey of love are pretty much the same; the particulars depend on the personality and character of the one who falls in love with God.

All around the world people are looking for meaning and finding it in strange, even destructive places.
