The Saving Lord of History

Why has the world become such a heavy burden? We can’t simply blame the media.

The Value of a Human Person

We are living in a culture that measures the value of the human person by degrees of success and productivity.

Fear is Not of God

Knowing God’s heart means consistently, radically, and very concretely to announce and reveal that God is love and only love…

The Careful Balance

Somewhere we know that without a lonely place, our lives are in danger.

To Suffer With

Do you know where the word “compassion” comes from? It comes from the Latin com, which means “with,” and passio, “to suffer.”

The Call for Patience

If we are patient, we can look at all the events of each day – expected and unexpected – as holding promise for us.

Returning Again and Again

Lord, give me faith, faith in your endless mercy, your boundless forgiveness, your unfathomable goodness.

God is the Source

For Jesus, and for us, prayer provides the insight and affirmation that if we do anything that is worthwhile – teaching, healing, organizing, reforming, working for good – we can never claim it as our own achievement. 

All is Yours O Lord

Dear Lord, help me keep my eyes on you. You are the incarnation of Divine Love, you are the expression of God’s infinite compassion, you are the visible manifestation of the Father’s holiness.

People of Hope

We are called to be a people of hope. Together, we can face our despairs – personal, global, or ecclesiastic.

Life is Small

Living without judgment is very difficult. It means trusting that new life can emerge even in a world full of distrust, violence, destruction, and war.

Sending Our Spirit of Love

After a very short visit to earth the time comes for each of us to pass from this world to the next.

Being Attentive

Lord Jesus,

Free me from the many things that occupy and preoccupy me.

Not Lost

Dear Lord, you once said, “The will of the One who sent me is that I should lose nothing of all that has been given to me.”

Living a Mystical Life

Freedom is the core of the spiritual life. It comes from claiming in your heart that unconditional first love that allows you to love your neighbors freely and unpossessively.

Never Be Lonely

The whole spiritual life can be seen as a life in which we reclaim that first divine love. 

Fellowship of the Broken

Let us not underestimate how hard it is to be compassionate.

Useless Time

The world says, “If you are not making good use of your time, you are useless.” Jesus says, “Come spend some useless time with me.”

Children of the Light

… As children of the darkness that rules through fear, self-interest, greed, and power, our great motivators are survival and self-preservation.
