Staying Power Minute Meditations
Fortitude is believing and acting on our beliefs when it is hard to do so. Principles, truth, courageâ€”they are easy virtues in easy times. Itâ€™s at the shank of the evening, when belief is hard, that fortitude becomes a virtue to live by.

Finding Our Purpose Minute Meditations
Fortitude gives our lives purpose in and of itself. Fortitude is the belief that God did not create us in vain. He gave us a purpose, even if we donâ€™t always see it clearly.

God Satiates the Heart Minute Meditations
The worldâ€™s deepest problemsâ€”and ours as wellâ€”cannot be resolved with more money, more houses, more food, more â€œthings.â€ Only God truly satisfies the human heart. Only his word fills us and leaves us fully content and satiated.

Sweet Yoke of Humility Minute Meditations

Emulating Jesus Minute Meditations
This Lent, let us remember that Jesus sought out the company of sinners, not to engage in their ways but to extend the gift of mercy. When we do the same, we console his Heart.

Repenting is Powerful Minute Meditations
Repent is a powerful word. And it means the same as it did to the people walking around the dusty pathways in their sandals, trying to inch closer to Jesus as he passed through their town or village. Repent means â€œto turn back to God.â€

Mystery of Poverty Minute Meditations
The mystery of poverty is the recreation of the human person where one can stand before God without demands. Poverty returns one to the center of original innocence because it is fulfillment of new law which does not promise temporal goods but love.

When I hurt Christ, he forgets the wounds and tries to heal me, the hurter. To Jesus the real wound is in the one inflicting the pain. Jesus assumes the difficulties of the hurter and offers healing by the therapy of forgiveness and love.
