You know you have been slacking on your blog when...

.... the majority of your "bites" come from vampires and dogs.

Anyone game for a few "mercy hits"?

Sacred Heart Novena

Sacred Heart Novena

The Weeping Rose

Hiding behind my fig leaf
Cowering in the shame of Eve
I, too, consumed fruit forbidden
Sweet to the lips, bitter to the soul
And mourned outside Eden's gates
An earthen vessel, Adam's seed
Lost in the dust of time
A rose wilted for lack of the sun
"Where are you?" echoed in my soul

At the faintest "here i am"
A broken arrow, a crooked bow
Stood before the Mercy Seat
Unbathed, covered with grime
Unrecognizable to all but you
Your eyes pierced through the filth
And saw the swan in the ugly duckling
You tucked my heart into your side
Two hearts beat as one
And in this Divine chamber
A weeping rose unfurled her first petal

Mary N.


Thank you, St. Faustina

St. Faustina Prayers
One of my favorite saints

The Tree of Life

From the corner of my eye
Nailed to a tree
I caught a glimpse
Of your plans for me
O Author of Life
Creator Divine
The Great I Am
O Love Sublime
You stooped down low
And infused in me
By the merest touch...
Eternity
