Road to Purity
Why Lord do I not leap for joy whenever I am in Your Presence as St. John the Baptist did while in the womb of his mother Elizabeth?
Why do I take Your Presence in the Eucharist for granted?
Where is the awe and amazement that should overcome me whenever You are placed on my tongue?
Where are the tears of joy and gratitude that should freely flow from the eyes of such an unworthy recipient of Love Himself as You penetrate and saturate every cell of this earthen vessel with Your Sacred Blood?
Why do I ever allow myself to be distracted by anyone or anything else during these intimate moments with You?
Why do I sometimes unconsciously thwart and impede the graces You intend to shower upon me as You and I are physically united?
Why am I so often in a rush to leave Church and abruptly end our intimate visit?
Why Lord do I fail to love You and Your Blessed Mother as much as You and she love me?
Why?
My vocation as a Lay Dominican created an insatiable desire to learn, study, live and share my Faith. For more than ten years I led a Prison Ministry program and have nearly three decades promoting Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration. Now retired, I aspire to promote zeal for the salvation of souls, awe and amazement for the Holy Eucharist and Eucharistic Adoration, and fidelity to the Truths of our Catholic Faith. I have published nine books, three of which have received the the Seal of Approval from the Catholic Writer's Guild. Forgotten Truths To Set Faith Afire! - Words to Challenge, Instruct and Inspire, I Thirst For Your Love and Stirring Slumbering Souls - 250 Eucharistic Reflections.
