Pause+Pray

Some days, prayer feels hard to sustain without help. We are not alone on this journey of faith. Others are praying with us, for us, and because of us.

As Mother Teresa said, “Do small things with great love.” One quiet act of kindness can echo for eternity.

Even as we wrestle with the realities of living in a human body—illness, aging, disability, declining health—we also have the opportunity to embrace our bodies as a means of experiencing God in the material world.

In the morning, afternoon, and evening today, enter into stillness and be reminded that God dwells within you and animates you through the mystery of the Holy Spirit.

Francis once told a cardinal, “The Lord has told me that he wanted to make a new fool of me.” How many of us would boast that we’re idiots?
