  • 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. Rising from the echo of ancient whispers,and in the murmur of a gentle breeze,I hear the question, timeless, profound,“Who do you say I am?” In the entangled… Read more

  • God’s Love (a Sonnet)

    *Image created with AI, August 2024 In grace divine, a love beyond compare,A beacon bright through darkest night it glows,In Jesus’ name, all burdens we can bear,For through His love, redemption freely flows. When shadows creep and hearts are gripped by fear,His gentle hand does guide us to the light,A love so pure it wipes… Read more

  • 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

  • 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. Chosen from shadows,lifted from earth’s dust,our souls bear the markof a kingdom unseen,yet faith reveals,a realm where love reigns eternal. The world, with its fleeting glories,its praises and scorn,cannot comprehend… Read more
