The Seasons: A Poem

Posted by on
Sunrise over Amazing Grasses Family Farm The mad Artist wields His brush, Painted colors rush, To life and give flush, Before the quiet autumn hush. The life seems to pour, As colors fall to the floor, To be seen no more, Outside the dark, grey door. Brightness from below, Sun upon the snow, High, cold clouds blow, Flakes and ice appear to grow. The man melts with little seen, Underneath, pale, grey green, Hides life in dark unseen, Waits for warmth and to careen. Buds on branches show, Patience starts to grow, Trickles, streams and veins flow, Bringing fruits of melted snow. Sprung to life it springs, Bees, birds, sound rings, Lush green flings, Its gift bounty brings. Green growth gives one last rush, Underneath the Painter's brush. The mad Artist wields His brush, before the quiet autumn hush. More poetry is available from James M. Hahn in  The Last Dragon and Other Poems  available now.

Catherine having some fun

Posted by on

Catherine is having some funny here in her "jumping jenny". She isn't in any sort of pain and we are thankful for that. We'll be heading to Philadelphia soon so we would appreciate prayers, especially to St. Lucy.

Her feast day is Sunday. If you would be so kind, we would ask you to join us in a Nine Hour Novena to St. Lucy on Sunday. As we drive, we'll be praying the prayer below asking St. Lucy to petition God for both healing and grace. We will pray this prayer once an hour for 9 hours. Thank you for all of your prayers, kind words and gestures. They mean so much to us.

SAINT LUCY, Whose beautiful name Signifies light, By the light of Faith Which God bestowed upon you, Increase and preserve His light in my soul, So that I may avoid evil, Be zealous in the performance Of good works, And abhor nothing So much as the blindness And the darkness Of evil and sin. Obtain for me, By your intercession With God, Perfect vision For my bodily eyes And the grace to use them For God’s greater honor And glory And the salvation of souls. St. Lucy, Virgin and martyr, Hear my prayers And obtain my petitions. Amen.
