Meditations - Father John Flader

  1. 1 DAY AGO

    Love for the Sacred Heart

    Our Lord has loved us to the end, to the last drop of his blood and water, and he invites us to love him in return. In this meditation we use texts of Scripture, Pope Francis’ encyclical Dilexit nos, St Margaret Mary Alacoque and St Josemaria Escriva to consider how:

    Mary and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit

    In the Annunciation, Our Lady receives a message from the angel Gabriel announcing that she is to have a son through the Holy Spirit. She immediately accepts.

    Hope in the Lord

    Everyone has issues in life which give rise to uncertainty about the future, to doubts and even anxiety.

    Learning from the humanity of Christ

    Everyone wants to be a better person. But what do we mean by this? Who is the standard, the model? It is obviously Christ himself, perfect man as well as perfect God.  In this meditation we use texts from Scripture to consider the humanity of Christ and some of the many virtues we can […]
