Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will
be my light. - Micah 7:8b
“Our lives must be woven around the
Eucharist...
fix your eyes on Him Who is the light;
bring your hearts close to His Divine
Heart;
ask Him to grant you the grace of
knowing Him,
the love of loving Him, the courage to serve
Him.
Seek Him fervently.”

St Photina, pray for us -
that we may have zeal for the
faith!
Fifteen years
ago today I joyfully reconciled with the Catholic Church and in
so doing enabled to fully partake of the Holy Eucharist, the Sacrament of
Charity and Unity. Let us join in the holy endeavor of praying and living lives
that speak of the power and love of our Eucharistic Lord - to come to know, love and serve Him more and more - and to draw many to the
inexhaustible riches of His Sacred Heart. “I will not rest
until I find the whole world devoted to the Blessed Sacrament!”
