Unity in Love : 10 Seconds Meditation

To be free is to be able to live in truth, to love radically and to act justly by living the grace of costly discipleship. We are called to be humble and free in love, like Jesus, that we may help move the world toward unity in love.

Sharing of Love : 10 Seconds Meditation

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.

Only From God

No one can save your soul but God in Jesus and the Spirit. God's grace—that is, the total, unconditional love surrounding every human being—comes only from God. We ask the saints in heaven to pray for us. But none of them grants grace.

Who We Are?

We are formed by environment and grace, by politics and prayer, by church and conscience. All God's creatures conspire to teach us as well. We stumble. We stutter. We rise. We are lifted.

Shine Through Me

The presence of Jesus among us is just that—a widespread presence among all of God's people. We are able to embed the wonders of the presence of God within us. Each of us can and must be the “Jesus Presence” in this world around us.

Strive for Perfection

You must not be surprised at all at your weaknesses and imperfections, but, recognizing who you are, you need to blush at your inconstancy and unfaithfulness to God.
