Pause+Pray

In her writings St. Julian of Norwich never mentions the war, plague, and papal schism she lived through. Instead, she focuses on God’s peace and power.

The words of The Lord's Prayer are so familiar to us that sometimes it helps to pause on lines of the prayer and go deeper within them.

Sometimes we overcomplicate things when it comes to faith, God, and spirituality. The fulfillment of the Old Testament that Jesus embodied is revealed in the four words "Love God, love neighbor."

We may say thank you to someone who holds a door open for us or to a waiter who brings us food in a restaurant. But what does expressing gratitude really mean?

TV's Mister Rogers reminded us that in times of need we all should look for the caregivers. At some point we're all going to need help or be called upon to help another.

When we pray for the children, even those we will never meet, we discover that every child is God’s beloved child.
