Minute Meditations

Our sovereign queen knows our situation in the midst of the mess. She sees our untouchable beauty and holiness when we cannot.

The genius of the biblical revelation is that it doesn’t just give us the conclusions; it gives us both the process of getting there and the inner and outer authority to trust that process.

St. Francis’ response to the world around him was so much more than intellectual appreciation or economic calculus, for to him each and every creature was a sister united to him by bonds of affection.

If we claim to revere the cross, if we claim to love the one who died for our sins, then we must not turn away.

Those who follow the spirit of the Lord’s Prayer become mystical activists seeking to incarnate God’s realm “on earth as it is in heaven.”

Francis placed the Lord’s Prayer, the Our Father, at the center of community life.
