Minute Meditations

We can learn from creation how to love and praise our common Creator, and we can use our voices to speak on behalf of all that is created.

Saint Francis was foremost a follower of Jesus, but he recognized and loved God’s work in creation.

Compassion flourishes when we have nothing to protect and everything to share.

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.
