O Comforter,… Read more

  • The Sacrifice

    Neath a foreboding sky,a man, silent, alonehaltingly trudges up the hill.The earth, unsteady,as nails pierce and swords puncturemingling water, blood, and dust. From the tree,a breath taken,then given away. This is the turning—the world, like a leaf,fallen,now caughtin the handof grace. My Lord and my God. Read more

  • Field of Tulips

    Lord of Creation, From the still chilled soil where tulips bloom,Your hand reveals each petal’s fold,A silent hymn, a gentle praise,Beneath the morning’s glow. In hues of crimson, white, and gold,Your artistry is clear,Each blossom affirms a life renewed,A hope that casts out fear. The tulip bows in reverence low,Yet stands with dignity,Its beauty lies… Read more

  • Lament

    Hear me, O God, in this hour of lament,When shadows are long and spirits are bent.In the silence, my heart cries out, I’m fully spent, Yearning for solace, for peace to be sent. Where is the light that once guided my way?The path now obscured; I’ve gone far astray.In the depths of my sorrow, to… Read more

  • Adoration

    The sacred silence of divinity,softened light in a hushed chapel,a heart bends in quiet awe. Eternal mystery, fragile host,breathes the weight of unending grace,in the mystery of transubstantiation. Eyes closed, soul wide open,the praise of faith and presence,soft echoes of love unspoken. Here, in quiet reverence,a transcendent moment,a palpable connection with the divine. Read more
