You Are Not A Lonely Orphan in This Land of Exile

“Adore and praise the immense love Jesus has for you in this Sacrament of Himself.  In order not to leave you a lonely orphan in this land of exile and misery, He comes from heaven for you personally, to offer you companionship and consolation.  Thank Him therefore with all your love and all your strength; thank Him in union with all the saints…Pour out your whole soul in thanksgiving to this good Jesus!  Thank the Holy Ghost for having reincarnated Him on the altar through the ministry of the priest, and that for you personally.  Call upon heaven and earth, angels and men, to help you thank, bless, and exalt so much love for you.”

(St. Peter Julian Eymard)

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 spent more than a decade 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.
