O God of mercy and life, do not leave me alone. Here You see me. This is me, all of me before You. You know what I need. I am weak and confused. Be my strength and my guidance. I do not want for myself any decision that You do not take with me, or ...

A Call In Prayer
During the congregational prayer, I found myself standing behind him. I was there before he arrived. Everyone in the church had taken their places. The priest who celebrates the service was inside the altar; the chanters were in their place; the faithful were distributed, each on a seat. The new words were arising from here ...

O God, O our God Who is All-knowing, be gracious unto us with Your mercy and Your strength. Does the Lord stipulate anything from His servants? Do not expect anything good from us. You be our good. You hearken unto us both when we speak and when we are silent. We are people who know ...

After she became the mother of a baby girl, she discovered that she is beautiful, and she pursued her discovery! Am I polishing up sin? Nothing deserves to be considered a discovery like the words of the apostle: “All flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man is as the flower of grass. ...
