The God Minute

What does it mean to listen with the ear of your heart? Join us as we spend time with St. Benedict, whose wisdom has guided Christians for more than 1,500 years. Through prayer, reflection, and quiet listening, we'll explore how God speaks through ordinary moments, daily work, and the people we encounter each day.
