Jesus is Our Religion Minute Meditations
Dear God, Jesus taught us that just because someone is in love with religion does not mean that person is in love with God. Help us realize that Jesus is our religion, and that all you ask is we open our hearts to him and love him and follow him along the way on our pilgrimage towards you.

Cooperation With God Minute Meditations
Faith, hope, and love are always somehow a giftâ€”a cooperation with Someone Else, a participation in Something larger than ourselves.

Divine Love Minute Meditations
Divine love is a love that operates in a quite unqualified way, without making distinctions between persons and seemingly without such a thing as personal preference. Anyone who receives divine love feels like Godâ€™s favorite in that minute!

Breaking Through Minute Meditations
Most of religious history believed that humanity had to spill blood (human or animal sacrifice) to get to God, but after Jesus some were able to comprehend that actually God was spilling blood to get to us. That reversed the engines of history forever, but the human mind still resists that reversal. It is too good to be true!

We Are Called Minute Meditations
Our sense of self as sinner and saint at the same time is possible only because God has opened our eyes to see how they finally meet on the horizon of the Holy Mystery. The words of Jesus always call us to cast off our sin, but, in the process, weâ€™re never condemnedâ€”only called.

Beloved Child of God Minute Meditations
Negative comments can bring us down, but prayer can help us turn down the volume on our internal bully and accuser. Only then can we hear the loving voice that arises out of silence: â€œYou are my beloved. I delight in you.â€ Thatâ€™s a message that needs to be written in our heartâ€™s journal every day.

Holy Ambition Minute Meditations
Holy ambition can lead a person to take leadership in projects to promote peace, ensure justice, clothe the naked, and welcome the stranger. It calls us to get involved in the deeds of love, service and justice that are needed in the day-to-day world in which we live.

One With God Minute Meditations
We all have a craving to be one with God, to be raised up to his glory. Thatâ€™s what God wants for us too, but in a more ordered, well-balanced way. We just have to follow his plan. We need to follow Godâ€™s diet.

Salvation history shows that feeding Godâ€™s people required more than food miraculously appearing in the desert. It required God coming to earth in order to feed us with a particular food: himself!

Get Back Up Minute Meditations
Oh, Father, too often I see the same patterns of sin in my life and repeated over and over. I stumble and fall, confess my stubbornness and pride to you, obtain forgivenessâ€”only to fall into the same thing again. I thank you for your patience toward the Israelites, and toward me!

Discipleship Minute Meditations
The gift of our faith is not something we are to hoard for our own benefit; it is meant to be shared with the world. Lent is a good time to wonder about what makes us Catholic, and the particular ways we can follow Christâ€™s call to â€œGo therefore and make disciples of all nations.â€

Forgive Me, Lord Minute Meditations
Jesus, our crucified Lord, you know us better than we know ourselves. Help us to see the ways in which we not only act out in selfishness, greed, or shortsightedness, but also in those ways we choose to ignore, forget, and step over aspects of our lives and others for which we need forgiveness.
