Lectio: A Relationship
“Christianity is not primarily a philosophy or a system of ethics or a religious ideology. It’s a relationship to the unsettling person of Jesus Christ, the God-man.”

Oratio: According To The Lord
The Blessed Mother
holds me in her faithfulness
teaching me
there is no need to worry
the Lord’s will is perfect
even when it is painful
even when I do not understand
even when it feels like life’s end
She stands by me
patiently
whispering
let it be
according to the Lord
His love is true
holy is His name
Amen~Robert Van Valkenburgh

Oratio: Upon The Rock
Build your faith
upon the rock
that never turns to sand
that does not wash away
nor crack
nor shift
build the kind of faith
that is not swayed
by desire’s strong winds
eroded
by sin’s crashing waves
nor shaken
by the tremors of suffering
build your faith
upon the Lord~Robert Van Valkenburgh

Oratio: Miracles Are We
What miracles you bring
O Lord
what healing
transformation and renewal
does your grace
pour upon the lives
of the poor in spirit
those who died
to a life of sin
reborn in Christ
with Christ in them
miracles are we
praise and glory to thee~Robert Van Valkenburgh
