  • How broken must we become

    How broken must we all become, Holy Lord,Before we turn our eyes to You? You allow separation and division to prevail all around us and throughout our world. The plagues of our time, physical and spiritual, they multiply daily. Covid surely, but so too the desecration of Your churches, the corruption of Your priests, evil […]

  • There is no Sanctuary in this place

    There is no sanctuary in our sanctuary.In that holy time, in Your temple,A time hopeful of preparation,That time before we all join togetherTo celebrate the Holy Eucharist, the marriage feast—that sacred memorial,that hope-filled prayer—Of You, Lord Jesus Christ, and Your bride, the church. Between aspiring young voices braying pop gospel melodies,Loudly, out of key;And joyful […]

  • Lead me to follow You in faith

    Lord, lead me to follow You faithfully,To fall not into despair,Nor to become impatient and full of self-pityIn those times when You lead me in quiet and aloneness. But rather strengthen me to seek Your Will,To listen for Your call; Strengthen me to wait for You,To stand alert and ready to protect Your precious prayer […]

We […]

  • Slow Down, Pay Attention

    Thank you for being here with me, Father.For allowing me to feel Your presence,To experience the warmth of Your love,To imagine You sitting here with me,A friend,A healer,A lover, present in all things. I like to tell myselfI have full faith in You, Father.Yet, why is it,That I am surprised?Unbelieving of Your gifts?Your answers to […]

  • Close my eyes that I might see

    Holy Lord, You came to meWhen I was in labor with my daughter.I didn’t understand Your presence then.Only later did I know it was You.But there You were,Holding my hand,Helping me breathe,Helping me manage the pains of childbirth. I remember closing my eyes,Needing desperately to disregard,Shut out somehow,All the distractions in the world around me. […]

  • Soften my heart

    Soften my heart, Lord, that I might love you more. Heal its wounds, left so long unattended;Massage deep with the holy oil of Your love,The scars, grown hard and brittle,The scars, which have so long offendedAgainst Your Holy Will. Open my eyes, Lord,That I might see Your glory in all things.Heal their blindnessThat I might […]

  • Dear Sister

    Dear Sister, Such strange times. Even when we are preempted from our normal activities and from our interactions with others, which have often left us with too little time for one another; Even now in our isolation of weather and COVID; Even now, the bridge that exists between us, built of parents and past history, […]
