Category: Palautian Reflections

Feast Day of Bl. Francisco Palau OCD seems to be a great ocasion to deepen in his life and teaching. As this year we are invited as a Church to become ¨Pilgrims of hope¨in preparation for the great Jubilee of 2025, we center our reflection on importance of prayer in our life. Francisco Palau is a great example and mystagogue of prayer is intimate relationship with the Church.

“Begin each day a thousand times and do not wait for tomorrow”. How to do it when all around you crumples down and falls?

What is needed to lead a meaningful spiritual life? Maybe much less than we used to think… “God alone is enough”

What does it mean to be a priest? In experience of Francisco Palau, a priest becomes not only a father, but also a spouse of the Church because this is the only kind of love capable of satifying heart’s desire of loving and being loved.

There are relationships that are closed, hermetic, exclusive. It’s not the case of relationship with Jesus: it brings forth love that is meant to heal and restore what is broken in whole of humanity.

At some point of our spiritual journey, our prayer is no longer a relationship BETWEEN friends but AMONG friends. This is when we start to learn to love God and our neighbor.

Does it take a lot to become spiritually mature? What is needed to grow in love? Do I have to dedicate my time only to prayer and meditation? What is needed to live the way I should live?
