Here, time passes at a gentle cadence,And the ordinary yields to the sacred,As bread and wine become vesselsOf transcendent mystery and love. In the quiet depths of our being,In the unspoken language of the soul,We… Read more

  • AMDG

    In every step, in every stride,AMDG, our noble guide,Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam,For God’s greater glory, our heart’s hymn. In every task, both great and small,We heed the whisper of the call,To lift our deeds, our thoughts, our aim, In service of a higher flame. For in the depths of every soul,There lies a spark that… Read more
