Prayer

  • Abide

    In the midst of chaos, You are there. I seek You and look for You in the stillness, and You are there. Unchanging, peaceful and full of love. You pour out your graces upon me and bring me help. I realize that I am not alone. I abide in You because your love endures and

  • The Beauty of Listening

    The earth has music for those that listen. Unknown There is a beauty of listening because it is a personal experience to be shared and received, of matters that touch the heart, and it brings a certain vulnerability and trust with it.

  • Come To Me

    Come to Me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 This morning, I find myself in my beloved Colorado, and even though I was born in California, I feel most at home here. I was in California the first two years of my life, and spent my

  • I Am All You Need

    “I am all you need”, five words I heard the Lord speak to me. This happened on the feast day of St. John the Baptist last week. The words kept echoing in my mind while I was sitting in Church. My gaze was fixed on the tabernacle, and I was trying to make sense of

  • I Need You

    The Lord has shown me this week that when I am honest with myself and admit that I need help, that is when things begin to change. When I hold tight to them, keeping those areas hidden, with the thought that I alone can change them, very little happens. Do you want to rise? Begin
