Minute Meditations

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.

We often think of obedience as compliance with a command. But this would make God some sort of exalted drill sergeant.

Joseph held before his very eyes the one who is himself the ultimate enticement of the human heart.

Joy is born of happiness at possessing what we love. Now, from the moment at which the soul knows God, it is naturally led to love him.
