Ten Minute Meditation Sr. Patricia Proctor Spokane, Washington Take a moment to visit your beautiful garden. Look at the flowers. Are there any new ones blooming today? Can you hear the waterfall over to the side? Listen to the birds singing in the trees. Spend a few minutes thinking what a beautiful and restful place this is. Now think of someone that you are having difficulty with today or in your past. When you have the person in mind, notice that Jesus is walking towards you and He is talking to that difficult person in your life. It actually looks as if He is enjoying being with your problematic person! Oh my goodness! How could that be? Now the difficult person is walking out of the garden. Your garden! Jesus continues to walk towards you. He smiles at you and you know He is glad to see you and wants to spend time with you. Did you stop breathing for a few seconds when you saw Jesus with this difficult person? Let your breath out now...slowly and easily. It's okay that Jesus loves you and the difficult person in your life as well. Talk with Jesus about this or simply let it be and just sit in the garden quietly. Healing comes when we see someone in a new light--even those we have difficulty with. Prayer when time is completed: Jesus, thank you for opening my heart to see others as you see them. Thank you for loving all people, even those I find difficulty in loving. Amen.

Joy from Meditation Rejoice in Me by Msgr. David E. Rosage Healer Redeemer Psalm 103:3-4 He pardons all your iniquities, he heals all your ills. He redeems your life from destruction, he crowns you with kindness and compassion. Jesus became incarnate in our world in order to forgive our sinfulness, to heal us in every area of our brokenness. He took our human nature with all its physical, intellectual, and psychological limitations so that he might redeem us and give us the capacity to receive his divine life dwelling within us. Jesus himself affirmed his mission: "I have come to call sinners, not the self-righteous." (Mk 2:2:17)
