Minute Meditations - All

We begin to pray well as soon as we realize that complete detachment is never an accomplished fact.

God applauds when all other hands are still; when my own heart doubts my worth.

It is memory that cries aloud, “God is faithful and will not abandon those who trust in God.”

Most of the love I have known has been non-verbal. It has been there in devotion and duty and fidelity revealed in peoples’ lives.

Joy is a gift from God, one of God’s surprises that comes to us when we are expecting something else.

Always it is the same: You suddenly realize that God has been there all along, that yes, God is present in your life.

When I forget comparisons and look only to what needs to be done, what can be done, I am at peace in the knowledge that I have something to give, something to offer.

The little surprises will be there only if we want them, only if we expect them to come, and that is hope.

The daily fruit of prayer is at best a vague sense of peace, but more often that not, it is merely a sense of having tried.

God comes the minute we let the straw go without regret and with remorse for thinking God could be content with our choosing something less than Love.
