Meditations in Manhattan Opus Dei NYC

We all have troubles in life, but pain and failures are not final. Christ brings us true peace, not the kind the world gives, but deep and lasting peace. A meditation by Father Henry Bocala.

Our belief in the Resurrection of Jesus brings us joy. These days of Easter we are especially reminded of Christ’s presence among us. A meditation by Father Timothy Uhen.

God has chosen us, in Christ, from the beginning of time. The Lord in his infinite mercy draws us closer and closer to Himself. Jesus knocks at the door of our hearts. Let us be generous in our response to that call. A meditation by Father Henry Bocala.

By entering into the Paschal Triduum, we can respond to Christ's invitation, "Love one another as I have loved you."

We are called to be saints in the middle of the world. And to become saints, we must begin again and again. During Lent, through our prayer, penance and almsgiving, we can follow Jesus closely. God loves us unconditionally. He calls us to live a life of commitment, and through that to live a life of joy.

This meditation is the final of seven meditations we are posting from a Lent retreat by Father Timothy Uhen. During Lent, we seek a deeper love of God and neighbor through prayer, self-denial, and charity. The aim of these Lenten meditations is to help us, through Jesus, to gaze upon the glory of God and to realize that his kindness is a greater joy than life itself.

In the Eucharist, Jesus offers himself to us as the Bread of Life. We draw our life from him, and we learn to be humble of heart.
