In a sunlit slice of ancient time, where tales find their crest,We disciples stood witness, to a faith truly put to the test.There, amidst the footprints of sand and sounds of the divine,The Canaanite woman’s voice rose, her destiny to entwine. “Son of David!” she called, her voice breaking the […]

In the heart of tempest’s bluster, midst the waves that did conjoin, The disciples saw a figure, in the dim, faint moonlight’s shine. ‘Twas a form, so unfamiliar, moving with celestial grace, In the stormy sea it wandered, not a ripple, not a trace. “Is it but a ghost?” they […]

Oh, Eternal Light, you have searched me, and you know me completely. You know when I sit and when I rise; you discern my thoughts from afar. You are intimately acquainted with all my ways, and there is no place where your presence cannot reach me. Before a word is […]

In the vast expanse of life’s intricate landscape, Like a brush in the hands of a kind artist’s keep, There exists a power, an incandescent cape, Of friends, who sow hope when life’s valleys grow deep. Gone are the shadows of desolation’s nights, For friends are the dawn, bursting with […]
