Stay On Course Minute Meditations
If times of great stress become times when you let go of the things you truly value, you will find yourself adrift and heading for the rocks, like a ship without its anchor. In times of great stress, only your top priorities can have your time. Keeping the Lordâ€™s Day holy and putting Godâ€™s time first will help you stay on course.

Equally Important Minute Meditations
As far as Christians are concerned, all human beings are equally important, because all human beings are infinitely important. We are all brothers and sisters because God is our Father. And Christ came to save us all.

Pray Every Day Minute Meditations
Pray every dayâ€”giving God quality time, not a moment here and there, sandwiched between e-mails and phone calls and work and play. Have a daily date with God, a time that is sacred to you and him. Let nothing except a real emergency deny you that time with God.

Gratuitous Salvation Minute Meditations
When we reflect on what God has said over the millennia since creation, we become aware of the horror of sin and are drawn more deeply into the mystery of gratuitous salvation. This enables us to communicate with God more easily in prayer.

Celebrating Unity Minute Meditations
There is no greater worship than the Mass, where we witness the salvation won for us by the Lord Jesus Christ. In all the sacraments we encounter God in a deeply personal way. In the Eucharist we also celebrate our unity with our fellow Christians.

Living the Sacrament Minute Meditations
To better appreciate and celebrate the Mass, you must realize that you are not merely remembering what Jesus did two thousand years ago; you are living it with him. When we come to worship, the liturgy makes present in time what is always before the Father in eternity.

Make Prayer a Priority Minute Meditations
We want to be healed and fueled by prayer. To pray well and maturely, schedule a special, nonnegotiable daily appointment with God. It is a time to praise him, thank him, and listen to himâ€”to be open to what God wants to whisper into the depths of your heart and soul.

One of the best ways to cope with healthy challenges is through the gift of our faith, weaving spirituality through the fabric of our health. Sometimes the best medicine doesnâ€™t come from the doctor.

Letting Go Minute Meditations
There comes a point in life when we might just have to really strip ourselves of our control over our bodies. We have to completely abandon our hearts and say, â€œCreator God, be with me now. I feel alone and vulnerable, but I have your companionship.â€

Keep Me Focused, Lord Minute Meditations
Time is what I pray about most. The older I get, the more I appreciate the preciousness of time. I only have so much of it allotted to me, and there are no reruns. I have to be busy attending to my Fatherâ€™s work before the sand in my hourglass runs out.

If we consider all that God has done for us in the past, we might begin to understand that there is nothing we havenâ€™t been given. And once we know we have it all, itâ€™s only natural to want to share that with others. This Christmas, bring that little bit of Jesus you carry in your heart wherever he directs you.

Prayer is a Gift Minute Meditations
Prayer is best thought of as a gift of our faith, rather than a requirement of it. We will all experience loss, even abandonment, at some point in our lives. But we know that God is there, waiting to help us make sense of it all, to come through the fire better and stronger than we were before.
