Bringing our hearts to His...

 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 Mother Teresa of Calcutta

(Quote chosen to honor St Photina)

By the well of Jacob, O holy one, /
thou didst find the Water /

thereof, O wise Photina, /
thou wentest forth proclaiming Christ, 

the Anointed One.

A Day in history...

TWENTY-TWO years ago today I joyfully 

reconciled with the Catholic Church 

and in so doing was 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.
