Meditations in Manhattan

This meditation by Father Phil Moss explores the Beatitudes as a "portrait of supernatural life" that fulfills the law through a radical newness of heart. We discover that true happiness is found through sacrifice, mercy, and union with Christ.

Let us live "unity of life." May we live a life of intimacy with God, drawing closer to Christ in everything we do, through our prayer and our sanctified work. A meditation by Father Timothy Uhen.

This Christmas let us present the baby Jesus with the gift of our lives. A meditation by Father Timothy Uhen.

Let us imitate Mary’s example this Advent so that the presence of Christ may overflow from within us and into the lives of our loved ones. A meditation by Father Javier del Castillo.

Our mother Mary gave all the glory to God. Throughout the Gospels, she usually remains in the background. She directs attention not to herself but to Jesus. Mary becomes a model of humility, obedience and love for the whole Church. Mary was a mother for the first Christians, and she is a mother for us. A meditation by Father Thomas G. Bohlin.

Let us ask our mother Mary, who has been assumed into heaven, to help us get into heaven. Mary, help us to be lovers after the Heart of your Son. A meditation by Father Timothy Uhen.

Jesus took Peter, James and John, and he led them up a high mountain apart by themselves, and he was transfigured before them.

The Transfiguration on Mount Tabor was a preparation for that other mountain, Mount Calvary, Golgotha. Jesus calls upon us to become another Christ, to embrace the Cross. A meditation by Father Thomas Bohlin.

We are entering Holy Week, the most sacred and spiritually intense week of the year. Let us live it well, accompanying Jesus closely. A meditation by Father Thomas Bohlin.

Throughout the Gospels Jesus tries to form the Apostles as men of prayer. He tries to introduce them to the intimacy he has with the Father. Lord, this Lent, let us enter through prayer into the life of the Trinity, into the loving dialog of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. A meditation by Father Joe Keefe.
