This humble book takes you on a unique adventure of spiritual healing in the Great White North of Michigan. Through poetry and humor, the author shares the story of his healing, redemption, and growing closer to his Creator. This book is like nothing you have read before and, prayerfully, will inspire you to find the same healing he found. Peace be to you!These poems are not only endearing because they capture the spirit and beauty of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, but they speak to the heart because they elevate the form beyond mere physicality, platitudes, and superficial spirituality to present the truth of who God is and who we are in relation to him. The strikingly simple haiku reaches its fullest potential when wed to the truth of God's love for his wayward children as expressed in the self-giving sacrifice of his Son, in the beauty of his creation, and in the fullness of the faith of the Catholic Church. Obviously the fruit of deep prayer, this collection can bring the reader to the same place of contemplation, healing, and gratitude for God's many gifts to us. -Deacon Jeremiah MasonP.M.R.M. Messing's journey from brokenness to healing is told eloquently through both prose and poetry. He reminds us that God loves us - each and every one of us - and that it's never too late for us to run to Him. God never gives up on us. Mr. Messing juxtaposes the beauty of God's creation in Michigan's Upper Peninsula with haiku, an ancient form of Japanese poetry, to paint a vivid picture of his journey and a glimpse into his soul. -Catholic Educator Christy Miron
This is a story about a little girl who has no idea where she came from. She just found herself in the arms of a beautiful old woman who treated her with so much love, compassion, and care.
One book cannot be enough to contain the knowledge about who God is. It will take volumes of books. All the sixty-six books of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, speak of God's greatness; who He is and what He has done and could do. He alone is worthy of our praise and worship. There is none like Him.His attributes include all kinds of goodness and power unimaginable. He is the Redeemer, the Almighty, and the King of kings. He knows our future from the present. May genuine and true hunger and thirst for this Holy God draw us closer and closer and closer to Him in reverence and holiness through His grace. Amen!The quality worship that God requires from us is based on the heart that is willing to offer unto God what we love so dear and cherish most, and this describes our reverence to Him.
First Holy Communion day is the most important and memorable day in the life of a Catholic child. Eucharist is the ineffable gift, and Holy Communion is the fusion between us and Jesus. Children start longing to receive Holy Communion at an early age but have to wait till they reach the age of discernment. In preparation, they attend a yearlong classes and training, either through the Catholic School or the Sunday School Faith Formation classes. At the end of this lengthy preparation, we still ask the same question: Are we really ready?Family is the domestic church, and parents are the primary catechism teachers. Knowledge is power and education is empowerment. Being involved actively in faith formation, in Holy Communion preparation, being a teacher and director of religious education for the past several years, answering the parents and reassuring them again and again, I thought of putting it together, hence this book, Preparing Your Child for Holy Communion: A Guide for Parents.

In 1976, a battle was fought; and during the battle, an object was found. In 1986, the object began to vibrate and get warm. A humming noise came from within. It would be used to open a larger sphere recently found in the Inspiration copper mine.Back in 1876, a town had been named after this strange object-a globe with continents on it. The town is Globe, Arizona, USA. The globe of metals was sent to the Smithsonian Institute years before, but it was "lost" over a period. The town sent a professor from ASU to investigate. He learned the globe was being given to a government leader in Asia as a gift for the privilege of buying oil and doing business. The professor located the globe in a hidden area of the Smithsonian and removed it before it could be sent. The professor is chased across the country but delivers the globe to the town council in Globe, Arizona. Word goes out and the professor is fired from his job, but not before he gives out six hundred As to his students. His wife leaves him. He loses his house. His car is continuously being repossessed. Once he is saved by a group of bikers at a place called Hole in the Wall, who stand off the collectors by shooting holes in their car.Later, hostages would be taken and, in return, the globe delivered (ordered by a secret society).During the battle in 1976, a motorcycle explodes and uncovers a second object with ancient figures and symbols. The globe is on this artifact with wings.An investigative reporter for the Street Journal tells about this object in an interview with the media. The professor hears and decides to go take a look. He learns that this is the long-lost capstone to a pyramid, which reveals the lost and ancient truths built into the pyramids: lost over thousands of years. (The symbols on both are the same.)The capstone tells of two objects-a globe of pure metals and a sphere in an underground civilization. The sphere vibrates when touched, the globe shows where the sphere is located.Is this the globe for which the town was named? The professor investigates further. What of this underground sphere? Who could know that it would be found in 1986? What would the globe reveal? What is the point? Read the story.
A Letter to Myself is about me being obedient when God said, "Write the book." It was the therapy I had been looking for all along, right there in front of me, not understanding that it was not just a gift that God wanted me to write out but something to purify my spirit so that I could pay attention to my spiritual walk on a journey he is taking me through.
We have each been chosen, uniquely created, cohesively fashioned for a specific purpose. Some of us have more or less mental, physical, or emotional abilities than others. But we all desire to be loved, belong, and to be understood because we are more alike than we are different.

How does one forget that sunny morning in September 2001? You don''t have to be from New York to feel the effects of that vicious act on American soil that changed history. What you must have is compassion. How does God let something of this magnitude happen? Is God in control? The Prayer of 9/11 is an in-depth look at every verse pertaining to chapter 9, verse 11 from Genesis to Revelation. The answer to many of these questions are found in the Bible.The force behind this devotional is that we should remember that God is always in control and His glory can also be found in suffering. I can assure you God did not create the world and then left us. You will find in the pages of 9/11 that through his Holy Spirit, God will enlighten you to many of the mysteries of that September morning. You just need to look for it and open your heart. Never forget that morning when many of our loved ones and heroes were taken from us. Moreover, never forget that life has no meaning without the coherent harmony of divine redemption.
