Minute Meditations

Either you see God in all things, or very quickly you cannot see God anywhere, even in your own species.

The Gospel itself will show us not only how we are to discern the truth, but how the truth leads to the action we call love.

Without the kind of internal conversion of heart that Francis came to in his own life, we can easily find our certainties elsewhere.

The two men recognized in each other a desire for peace and a devotion to their mutual sacred texts, the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Q’uran.

Peace is achieved more effectively by trying to bring out the best, not pointing out the worst, in others.

Saint Francis simply loved Christ and lived the Gospel, and he and his brothers became thereby catalysts for social change.
