Special Note for Thursday’s Video Meditation: Please bring a crucifix that you can hold in your hands.
As you settle into your place of prayer, Fr. Ron Will asks you to relax. Take a couple of deep breaths. Inhale the presence of God. Exhale any anxiety or stress you have in your body. Be present to this moment.
Hold the crucifix in your hand. Look at it closely. Begin to focus your attention on Jesus on the cross.
Allow Fr. Ron to lead you as you enter into this mediation.
New videos will be posted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We’ll send you an email on Thursdays to remind you to watch. You can find all the videos here (after they are posted): Lent Video Series. You can share your thoughts about the video on our Facebook page.
[Fr. Ron Will, a Precious Blood priest and spiritual director, is a graduate of Catholic Theological Union and Creighton University’s School of Christian Spirituality. He has a special interest in helping form intentional disciples of Jesus, encouraging others to go spiritually deep-sea diving to explore a deeper relationship with God, and walking with people as they dive into the ocean of God’s mystery actually experiencing God rather than simply dipping one’s toe into the water.]
Taizé is an ecumenical, meditative prayer experience using music, chants and scripture. We gather on the first Thursday of every month at 7 p.m. Each month we explore a different theme. The theme for September was "New Beginnings."

Just like houseplants have certain necessities — the right temperature, water, nutrients and sunshine — without which they can’t live and thrive. People too have a few necessities to live full and meaningful lives.
