March “Minute Meditation”

In our fast-paced world, it’s important that we as Catholics take intentional time to connect deeper with our faith and focus on what really matters in our day-to-day lives. To help our parishioners with this task, we’ll be sharing various “Minute Meditations” for your social media feed.

“There’s a wonderful upside to simple living: the possibility of becoming true craftsmen and craftswomen of the time we’re given. We all know that we only have so much of it. We can’t get it back or create more. We can only make good choices about how we steward it, and the ubiquity of digital media can make that a real challenge.

If you’re on the spiritual path of simplicity, however, it’s a worthy challenge, because embedded within it is the chance to make—or to allow God to make—something truly beautiful of your life. Again, on the far side of structure, discipline, and good boundaries lies a spaciousness in which you can experience freedom, truly prayerful presence, self-acceptance, creativity, and meaningful connections—not on Mark Zuckerberg’s terms, but on your own.”
