Minute Meditations

In keeping his eyes on the leper, in thinking only of this person before him, Francis forgot himself.

In my best, my most alive moments—in my mystical moments, if you want—I have a profound sense of belonging.

Today do a small act of love for someone. Open a door for someone, or just say “please” or “thank you.”

Seasoned by tears of joy and lament, prayer-centered presence invites us to welcome the whole world by drawing it into our heart-center.

Jesus commanded us to love; so we know love is not just a feeling, since we cannot command feelings.

When Jesus wants me to know he loves me, he lets me experience his wounds, his thorns, his agonies.
