The God Minute is a short, daily Christian prayer that includes peaceful music, scripture and a reflection to bless your day with the Lord. It's only 10 minutes. Take a few God Minutes each morning and see how your day rises in abundance. A Catholic devotional by the Congregation of the Mission - the Vincentians.
The God Minute podcast is truly a gem in the realm of spiritual podcasts. From the moment you press play, you are transported into a world of peace, reflection, and inspiration. The hosts, Father Ron and Father Michael, have created a space where listeners can start their day off right with a 10-minute dose of prayer, scripture, music, and thoughtful reflections. It is evident that a lot of love and care goes into each episode.
One of the best aspects of The God Minute podcast is its ability to touch on various topics that resonate deeply with listeners. Whether it's discussing personal struggles and how to find solace in God or sharing stories of faith and resilience, there is always something relatable for everyone. The hosts have a talent for weaving together scripture readings, insightful reflections, and beautiful music to create a truly immersive experience. Additionally, the episodes often feature guest speakers who bring unique perspectives and add diversity to the content.
The worst aspect of this podcast is that each episode is only 10 minutes long. While this can be seen as a positive for those who prefer shorter podcasts, it can sometimes leave listeners wishing for more. The brevity of each episode means that certain topics may not be explored as deeply as one might hope. However, this could also be seen as an advantage for those who are looking for quick but meaningful moments of reflection in their busy lives.
In conclusion, The God Minute podcast is a must-listen for anyone seeking daily spiritual nourishment and guidance. Its concise format makes it easily accessible for people with busy schedules, while still providing powerful messages that resonate long after the episode ends. Whether you're looking for inspiration or simply want to deepen your connection with God on a daily basis, this podcast will not disappoint. Give it a listen and let The God Minute become part of your spiritual journey.

It's a choice. And one Jesus tells us to do.It does not minimize or reduce the damage done to you. It does not mean you need to be in a relationship with that person.It does not mean there will be no consequences for their actions.Forgiveness does mean you are letting them go to God, and in the Name of Jesus, who died for everyone's sins, you are forgiving them in His Name. All of this is done in the context of prayer:1. Call to mind someone you need to forgive. Or God may bring someone to mind.2. What, specifically, did they do? Specifics is very important, not generalizations. For example, "they hurt me" is a generalization. How exactly they hurt you, is the specific. There may be a long list of behaviors you need to forgive them for, name them one by one, (you may want to write them down) or it may be just one action. You don't want to re-live the offense, just name it 3. Then say aloud, or quietly:Lord Jesus, in YOUR NAME, I forgive Name, for name the offenses, and I bring them to the foot of your cross to deal with as you will. I release them of all my anger, bitterness, expectations, and any other negative feelings that keep me bound, and I ask you to set me free. AMEN.
