Yes, we are living in a fragmented--but still beautiful--world. I’d like to share that my book “Gather the Fragments: My Year of Finding God’s Love” (Clare’s Dress Productions) is now available on audiobook-- and while you can purchase it wherever audiobooks are sold, what I wanted to share here today is that you can get it free from your library on Hoopla. I’m delighted to offer the book to seekers and listeners through this free option (Libby, too!).
Described as “stunning”, “exquisite and engaging prose” and “a celebration of the sacredness found in our regular old lives,” it offers spiritual accompaniment especially for times when you are walking through something unseen. Uplifting, and narrated by me, the author, llisteners discover intimate portraits of everyday miracles through Jesus’ miracle of the loaves and fishes. From the Outer Banks to New England, from New York City to Assisi, Italy, these timely, funny, moving reflections offer hope with the three words of Jesus: gather the fragments. Listeners find healing beyond anxiety and despair, and mystery in the ordinary. Find comfort here in the Blessed Mother, St. Francis, St.Clare, St. Therese of Lisieux.
“The fragments of love are not lost, scattered things, but are within us as we drive down the S-shaped roads we’ve driven hundreds of times before.” Gather the Fragments turns us home together toward grace in a fragmented but still beautiful world.
May peace be with you.
