Heirs of Heaven Minute Meditations
A real transformation occurs in us through baptism: We die to sin and become one with Jesus Christ in such a way that we share in his very own life. In baptism we receive the sanctifying grace that gives us a heavenly life. It makes us sons and daughters of God, brothers and sisters of Jesus, and heirs of heaven.

Yearn to Love God Minute Meditations
Even if someone has only a yearning to love God, that is enough. It comes from God himself, because God is present wherever there is a desire for his love. Yearn for him always, yearn with greater confidence, and do not be afraid.

Pathway to God Minute Meditations
Almost anything we see or experience can be a prayerâ€”a pathway or tool for turning into God. There is a whole spectrum of ways that can raise us to conscious union with God; passages of Scripture, repetition of words, silence, breathing, even suffering. Such experiences become springboards and passageways into God's presence.
