Fountain of Grace Minute Meditations
If you donâ€™t have the life and love of the Lord flourishing in your own soul, you will not be able to share them with others. But if you do, then youâ€™ll be like a flowing fountain of graceâ€”everyone you meet will receive a blessing from God through you.

Liberated From Sin Minute Meditations
God, sometimes I get so focused on the troubles in my lifeâ€”at work, with my family, in my relationshipsâ€”that I can almost forget the deepest problem you want to address in me: my sin. Help me this Advent to return to you and be liberated more from my sins.

Unfinished Business Minute Meditations
Itâ€™s hard not to get caught up in the frenetic activity of the season. We want this kind of boundless energy. We can find it by keeping God as our central priority and reminding ourselves that life will go on and people will still love us, even if our errands go unfinished.

The devil may try to use the hurts of life, and sometimes our own mistakes to make you feel it is impossible that Jesus really loves you. This is a danger for all of us. And so sad, because it is completely the opposite of what Jesus is really wanting, waiting to tell you. Not only that He loves you, but even moreâ€”He longs for you. He loves you always, even when you donâ€™t feel worthy. â€”Mother Teresa of Calcutta

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.

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.
