Walking With My Brother

A gift of joy, a prayer of gratitude, a blessing from Our Father

  • Faith, not fatalism

    “Add Christian hope, born of faith, to the inevitability of death and the entire horizon of human experience is changed. Christian hope does not prevent death. Christian hope does not even delay death. But because Christian hope is hope in eternal life, it changes completely the way we are able to live here and now.…

  • Dreams and temptations

    The evil one came again last night as I slept. You allow us to be tempted, Holy Father. I guess I should not feel bad about him coming again, especially in my sleep when my guard is down, to tempt and try my faith and my love of You and Your Son, Jesus. But I…

  • Wastin’ Time

    When we were young and unafraid,We wasted our timeOutdoors at play. Wasted our time learningAnd making mistakes,Red rover, red roverSuch little snowflakes. Too weak to break through,Too small to fight,Too young to realize,The strength of our might. Together in song,Dishes washed and dried,Whether melody or harmony,You always won when we vied. Alli allí in-free,It’s time…

  • The light of Your holy face

    You allowed me a wonderful blessing recently, Lord, which I hope to capture here in words as transcendent as the experience. How do I explain the experience in a way that enlivens and fills with hope the hearts of others today? It reminded me of the experience of the apostles who witnessed Your transfiguration. Could…

  • Dad, I need Your help!

    So here I am, Lord. Talking to myself, practicing what I’d like to say to my priest about the on-going situation with my sister. I should probably be talking to you, Father. But we have talked, haven’t we, and I don’t feel much clearer about what to do. All this was prompted by this morning’s…

  • Prepare my lips, oh Lord

    Father, You gave me your beautiful words during my prayers with You, today at Mass. Help me now, 24 hours hence, to recall them, I pray, and to lift them up to Your glory. Amen. God our Father in Heaven, lean close and beckon to me, that I might lift my heart to You. Let…

  • 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…

  • You delight in our sweetness, oh Lord

    As I remember Your presence with us at the wedding at Cana, I remember that… You delight in our sweetness, oh Lord, As our most loving parent,You watch us here below,And look on with delightAs we dance and laugh and loveIn the sweet innocence of childrenWhose only desire is to love and please you. We…
