We Are Called Minute Meditations
We are called to share in the infinite life and love of God. We are called by God to a relationship that is destined to transform us into his likeness, to â€œdivinizeâ€ us. This is going to take some stretching, to say the least.

Seeking Redemption Minute Meditations
Jesus has suffered for all of us, and he suffers in all of us. He is the reason why redemption and glory are destined to rise up out of our own suffering. We simply need to adhere to him in faith, hope, and love.

Prayerful Fidelity Minute Meditations
Peace, patience, and above all prayerful fidelity in suffering constitute the path most of us are called to travel. Perhaps we can manage to be cheerful in the midst of suffering; this is a courageous virtue and one not easily attained.

Awareness of Sin Minute Meditations
Pray for an awareness of sin in your life, and offer those sins up to God. It is only when we say weâ€™re sorry that we can hear the words, â€œI forgive you.â€ And if you havenâ€™t gone to confession recently, you should go receive the wonderful graces offered to you in this sacrament.

Jesus Is God Minute Meditations
Isnâ€™t it amazing that our God took on our flesh? That He chose to be born in poverty and die in suffering so that we could know His love and be reconciled to Him? He wants to be more than an example, a teacher, or a friend. Jesus is God. And He wants to be your God, because He loves you.

Simply put, God does not demand our praise because he needs it, but because we need it. It is for our benefit, not his. If the whole world neglected to ever utter a single word of praise to God, he would not be hurt or diminished in any way. But we, the non-praisers, would be sadly crippled.

We are made in the image and likeness of God. Our soul magnifies the magnificence of God. We are Godâ€™s work of art. Accept yourself, none of us as humans are perfect. We are of value.

Consider the story of the $100 bill -
As a brand new $100 bill, it is worth $100.
As a crumpled old $100 bill, it is still worth $100.

Your value is never diminished, no matter if you have sinned or if people have hurt your feelings.

When we begin things in adoration and prayer, God can and will work through our fears, uncertainties, and inefficiencies to allow the Holy Spirit to do impossible things through us.

Minute Meditations
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.

Purposeful Parenting Minute Meditations
Purposeful parenting takes a lot of work, but it also takes a lot more grace than many parenting experts understand. Itâ€™s the grace that comes from making mistakes and learning to trust God to make up the difference between our own best efforts and his incomparable love.

Surrender equals defeat, failure, and unhappiness if we donâ€™t get our own way. We naturally feel we should have it all, should be on top, should do better. This struggle in our hearts between having our way and letting God have his way challenges us daily. Most often, we donâ€™t even realize there is a battle in our hearts to surrender our wills to Christ.
