Prayer and Spirituality

The distortion of prayer comes in when I rush to move on rather than be still and listen to how God's spirit is inviting me deeper.

Once we discover and develop a stance of deep gratitude for God’s gifts, it is then that we are transformed into goodness and beauty.

Sister Maria Brizuela, OSF, shares her favorite scripture passage and how she applies it to her life. She also lets us in on what superpower she would love to have!

I couldn’t help but think about how Sisters and Nuns are that kind of goodness! We never know how deeply we’ve touched a life or influenced behaviors. Sisters and Nuns commit to lives of service, prayer, and blessing, and give this super power to those we meet.

Pope Francis calls us to become aware of and dare to turn what is happening to the world into our own personal suffering and, in so doing, discover what each of us can do about it. Like the young boy in the story, we have dared to let the pain of our Mother Earth penetrate our hearts.
