Let Us Love One Another
Let us come together as one family in Christ. Let us recognize that we are all brothers and sisters. No race is superior to another. We are all human. We are all children of God. Let us focus on what unites us.
God’s creation is beautifully diverse but ultimately united.
How Catholic Devotion to Mary Leads Us Closer Christ
In Luke’s Gospel, Mary says “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my savior” (Luke 1:46-47 RSVCE). Mary does not take away from Christ. Coming to know Mary magnifies our love for Christ. As Dr. Taylor Marshall, a former Protestant, says, “the more things that are involved in participating in Christ, the more the love, mercy, and grace of Christ is magnified” (Dr. Marshall, source linked below).
Catholic Mindfulness
What is one thing we can do right now to put mindfulness into practice?
For a Catholic who is trying to figure out what this has to do with their interior life, I usually tell people – when you go to Mass or you go to Adoration, before praying, start off spending five minutes just being present in your body, and just feel with your senses your own breath. Pay attention to what’s actually happening right now in this moment. That will prepare you to be present with God’s Body – the Eucharist – or whatever is specifically happening in the prayer.
We often just try to go right into our prayers, as life goes on in the background of our mind. But we can stop that process by refocusing on the senses in the present moment.
