Not a measure of space—but as near as the breath that leaves our lips,the assured hope of a prayer unfurled in faith,the heartbeat that stirs when love takes root. Heaven is not some distant star,but a flaming flicker in the human soul,a reflection of the divineetched into our essence, our identity. It’s as close as… Read more

Lord, this seasonlives in the absence of color,yet You remain—etched in every branchthat stretches skyward,in every brittle blade of grassasleep beneath the frost. Our landscape is stripped bare,the earth laid openlike a rune of quiet surrender.And yet, all remains full.Full of the hum of stillness,the hush of snowthat falls in silken serenity,revealing Your hand.

Do we carve the air with silvered speech,Only to let it fall,A polished echo of promises,Too brittle to stand tall? We speak of love like it’s a flame,A holy warmth, divine,Yet hold it close within our hearts,Afraid to let it shine. What good is light that seeks no dark,A river that will not flow?What worth… Read more

You are but leafless branches now,sharp against the silvered sky.No rustle in the wind, no burst of color—just the silence of what remains. The wind doesn’t seek permission;it tugs and gnaws,yet you do not complain.Instead, you stand,gripping the earth with quiet resolve. Your roots—deep, hidden, patient—sip at streams that no one sees.Or hears.The earth is… Read more

Lord, grant me a burning faith,A flame that never wanes,To overcome the darkest nights,Guiding me past my pain. Bestow upon me a joyful hope,A beacon in the storm,Lifting my spirit high above,Where grace and peace are born.

In Bethlehem, beneath the star’s holy light,A humble maiden bore a Son one silent night.Mary, pious, with faith so strong and broad,Became the Mother of our Lord and God. Her heart was pure, her spirit full of grace,Chosen to cradle God’s transcendent face.In a manger, love and hope were shod,Through Mary, the Mother of our… Read more

they abandoned their boatsand followed Him. left nets, waves, salt-stung air,for a voice that stirreddeep currents within,cast off from shore,to chart a coursein unseen waters,hands once roughenedby ropes and wood,now open, empty,filled with faith,treading pathswhere footprints fadeyet hearts remember. they abandoned their boatsand followed Him.

In the depth of darkness, shadows creep, Where abject sorrows turn to weep.A void where light has never been,A place our sadness hides within. The night is vast, an endless sea,A realm of lost eternity.Stars are swallowed, dreams are lost,In the chill of black, a bitter frost. Slowly, heart beating a somber pace,A prisoner in… Read more
