Within this collection of stories, reflections, and writings, you will find windows into the mystery of God. Members and friends of our parish have written pieces for use as devotionals in this season of Lent. Most all of the works are original, and they range from poems to personal stories to reflections on scripture. Some will evoke tears or laughter, while others may not do much for us at all. The pieces are as unique as the writers, and they may not resonate with everyone, which is fine. But it is my hope that with each daily entry we will all find some way to connect with God.


My thanks to those who contributed to this project. It takes courage to offer something publicly as we have done with this collection. I know that some of you have gone well outside your comfort zone to reflect spiritually on parts of your life or to share ideas that you have treasured for yourself. I also want to thank Tiffany Ayers who used her skills as an editor to put this collection together and catch all of our typos and literary bobbles.


I pray that each of us would find this Lenten Season a holy and special time.


In Christ’s Peace,

Fr. Tom+

Today's Text Prayer

Amen. I start my prayer today, perhaps I as I should start them all, with the admission, right up front, that no matter what I pray for, the intent of my heart should be ‘Amen’ to your will, ‘so be it.’

    Hi, My name is David Broadwell. I am a parishioner at Our Lady of Hope. I wanted to pass along our website to you. It is www.forantonia.wordpress.com We have triplets (16 months old) and my wife Antonia has cancer.

    If you can help get our story out, that would be very useful. We have lived the past year in relative seclusion due to Antonia’s illness and only know a handful of people. So please help us get our story heard.

    A concerned Dad and Husband,

    David Broadwell
