Minute Meditations

Trust in God requires not the felt experience of God but the handing over of one’s life to God in darkness and silence, realizing that one’s life is not one’s own but belongs entirely to God.

When God works upon us, then the real working of our lives is in the waiting.

The story of Mary is the story of Jesus; his story is the completion of hers, and hers the completion of his.

Somewhere inside that little bundle of baby was the magnitude and amplitude of God’s own voice.

Divine light is her hope, especially in the deepest night.

Mary’s virginity is a choice that leads to a new kind of fruitfulness born of love that is human and inclusive and deeply spiritual.
