Love in Motion: When Mercy Bleeds

Road to Purity
My scars remember every valley,
but my soul remembers who carried me through.
You were the steady hand on my shoulder,
the quiet voice in the dark saying, “Live.”
So I praise You with what’s left of me—
these bones, this breath, this stubborn hope.
If all creation sings Your name,
let my little story join their hymn.
You turned grief into testimony,
fear into faith,
ashes into hallelujah.
And for as long as breath fills my chest,
Lord… I will praise You.
A poet, author, and faith writer who believes words can heal what silence hides. My poetry collections — Inked Emotions, Scattered Feelings Stitched in Ink, and Love Beyond Loss — were born out of seasons of grief, solitude, and deep reflection.
Here on Catholic365, I’ve been humbled to share reflections that have reached hundreds of readers. I write not from a place of perfection, but from a longing to make sense of love, loss, and the quiet ways God speaks into our lives.
Whether it’s a poem, a story, or a small reflection, my hope is that you feel seen, encouraged, and gently reminded that faith isn’t always loud — sometimes it’s found in the waiting, the falling, the starting again.
