During the Eucharistic Prayer He asked me, “What grace would you like to ask for? I will give it to you.” Just like He had asked Solomon. I must ask wisely. “Wait,” I told myself. “Don’t be hasty. This is important.” As I went up for Communion, it suddenly hit me. THIS was my birthday […]

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament… There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves on earth, and more than that: Death: by the divine paradox, that which ends […]
To the brim
“Do whatever he tells you,” Mary said. And when Jesus asked them to fill the jars with water, they filled it to the brim. Do I go the distance? When I say, “Your will be done,” do I really mean totally and completely? Totus tuus. Yes, fill me, Lord. Your will be done. To […]

Break my heart for what breaks yours
Why are you doing this to me Lord? After a lovely time with you, why are you letting me feel such loneliness? I miss Henry so much, Lord. Why did you have to have his trip extended? I am running away from the pain. I know. Seeking distraction in company, entertainment. I can’t even sleep […]
