Transform Your Life Minute Meditations
The Word of God draws you and me more fully into the sacramental Church, the apostolic tradition, and the incarnational Christ, found most specifically and undeniably in the Holy Eucharist. Dive into the Bible, and allow the Lord to radically transform your life.

Oh My God Minute Meditations
The Creator of all creation is totally perfect and totally holy. Taking His name in vain doesnâ€™t make God any less holy, but it does make His name less holy in the eyes of the world.

Break the Chains Minute Meditations
Why do we surrender ourselves to ego demands? We ask God to break the chains of the false and too careful self and bring light to all our shadows. We long to live lifeâ€”the life of the gospelâ€”abundantly.

Balancing Act Minute Meditations
