  • 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

  • Faith, Hope, Love

    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. And a holy love, pure and true,For You and all I see,In every soul and every heart,Your presence Read more

  • Not of This World

    Praying to your Father,with your closest friends present,you spoke,a gentle truth that pierces the heart:we are not of this world,though we dwell within its embrace.

The world, with its fleeting glories,its praises and scorn,cannot comprehend Read more

  • 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.

  • They Followed Him

    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.

  • The Depth of Darkness

    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

  • Beneath the arching sky’s expanse,Where sunbeams gently caress the earth,We find ourselves in humble presence,Suspended in the embrace of grace.

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
