Most of us use too many words when we pray. Praying longer and harder does not mean that we are praying better. We do not need to make our prayers complicated. And we certainly do not need to make prayer an onerous task. We pray best when we keep it…

Please pray for my mother who has developed an arterial blockage in her leg which has been diagnosed as atherosclerosis. She might need surgery to resolve this. We are very concerned about this because of her advanced age.

Simple Prayer

Most of us use too many words when we pray. Praying longer and harder does not mean that we are praying better. We do not need to make our prayers complicated. And we certainly do not need to make prayer an onerous task. We pray best when we keep it as simple as possible.

We do not need to tell God anything when we pray. God already knows everything about us before we say a word. God knows what our needs are and what is best for us, and he will provide for us whether we ask or not. So t… Continue

The Wonder of God's Love

You came into the world as a beautiful child. Your beauty came from God, who created you in his own image and filled you with a portion of his own Spirit. When he brought you to life, he held you in his arms and caressed you tenderly, and his heart swelled with love for you. From the moment he created you he loved you. He created no one else like you, and he reserved a special place in his heart for you. His only wish for you was that you would always love him as he loves you.

He found a place… Continue

The Rain

A scholar of the law to test Jesus asked, "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?"

Jesus answered, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments." (Matthew 22:35-40)


Before you can love God or your neighbor, before you can love at all, you mus… Continue

Surprised by Being

If you go into the depths of your being in search of your true self, you might make an astonishing discovery. If you go deep enough to reach your innermost center and remain long enough in the silence that you find there, you will discover that you are not a self at all but a communion. Contrary to what you have always thought, you are not a stand-alone being. Your being is not a state but a process. You are not a noun; you are a verb.

At every moment you draw your being from the source of all… Continue

The Way to Happiness

Alienation and loneliness take hold of us not when we are isolated from others but when we lose contact with reality. The only remedy for our feelings of being isolated is love. And the only source of real love is God. We try many substitutes for real love, and we sometimes even call them love. But they do not take away the deep anxiety that comes from feeling lost and alone. They do not bring us happiness. Only God can give us that. And God offers it to us right now. All we have to do to receiv… Continue
