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 Teresa of Calcutta
(Quote chosen to honor St Photina)

A Day in history...
A Day in history...
TWENTY-FIVE 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 endeavors of praying and
Let us join in the holy endeavors of praying and
living lives that speak of the strength 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.
