    *Image created using AI, September 2024 In the cool, blue haze of the evening,where shadows dance with memories,a man steps forth, cloaked in love,a rhythm in his heart, a melody above. He walks the ancient paths of sorrow,each step a note in a divine song,a tune that echoes through the ages,whispering of grace, of righting Read more

  • Return to Authenticity

    *Image generated with AI, September 2024 O Maker of the heavens and the earth,In whose breath my soul was born,I’ve wandered far, adrift in shadows,Seeking truth in fractured mirrors,Forgetting the light that first shaped me. In my quest for self, I’ve lost the truth,For how can I be true without Your touch?You, who etched my Read more

  • A Quiet Invitation

    Thank you, God,for the wild and sun-drenched fieldswhere asters lean, a paletteof lavender and bluewhere goldenrod blazesit’s resplendent joy from within the fading green Thank you, Lord, for the crispness in the airand for mornings arrivingwrapped in the cool breath of the earth For the way each leaf now burnished and brightturns and flips and Read more

  • Never Lose the Wonder

    Isn’t it a miraclehow the dew collects in the cradle of leaves,how light flutters across the morninglike a thousand whispered prayers? I walk the path,and each step is holy—           the earth beneath my feet hums its hymn,older than time,yet as new as the breath I take. Do not lose the wonderof the finch’s flight,or Read more

  • Who do you say I am?

    *image generated using AI In prayerful stillness I ponder,leaving time for careful reflection,I seek to vivify the depth of my soul,to seek, to question, to pray, to prepare.

  • Sanctifying Suffering

    *Image created using AI, August 2024 O Christ, having experienced the world’s sorrow,in Your wounds, I touch the edges of grace.Show me how pain, a gift unwrapped in darkness,can lead me closer to You,where shadows frame a deeper hue. In the furnace of my trials, You refine,each tear a flicker of holy purpose,burning away what 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

  • Breathless

    In breathless moments before the altar, hearts trembling with sacred prescience, eyes fixed on the Host, the Bread of Life, souls whispering fervent prayers, longing for the divine embrace, as the veil between heaven and earth grows thin, prayers raising with the sweet exhaust of the Thurible, hearts now beating in unison, a veritable hymn Read more

    O radiant Queen, lifted to the skies,In your ascent, our hopes arise.Mother of grace, in glory crowned,In you, the purest love is found.Assumed to Heaven, by angels praised,Guide us to your Son, in whom we’re raised.Mary, our Mother, gentle and true,Lead us in faith, ever close to you.Amen Read more
