Who We Are Minute Meditations
We are formed by environment and grace, by politics and prayer, by church and conscience. All Godâ€™s creatures conspire to teach us as well. We stumble. We stutter. We rise. We are lifted.

Making Love Visible Minute Meditations
God sends us brothers and sisters who areâ€”or at least are called to beâ€”warm, supportive, comforting. They make Godâ€™s love visibleâ€”the ones still with us and those who have gone ahead.

Contemplative Prayer Minute Meditations
The taste of God in contemplation is more precious than everything else; for, no matter what a man might wish for, it is nothing when compared to this. For when the spirit of a man stands before God and sees his happiness and tastes his delights, then in truth he as attained to paradise.

Sharing of Love Minute Meditations
Love cannot exist in isolation or autonomously because love shares itself with another. Love requires a lover and a beloved, a giver and a receiver. It is the receptivity of love that makes it gift.

The fruits of the Spirit are perfections that the Holy Spirit forms in us as the firstfruits of eternal glory. These are what allow us to have self-control, not only in areas of chastity but in other areas of our lives where we face weaknesses.
