A new poem is about to be published on this site. It was inspired by a retreat conference held recently at St. Mary Magdalen’s Catholic Church, from a talk given by the parish priest. He touched on the subject of blazing fire, as spoken of by St. Thérèse of Lisieux.
The poem has just been completed and is called:
“Blazing Fire (Elijah/Thérèse)”.
It is a comparison of sorts between the Old Testament prophet and the nineteenth century Carmelite nun who is a Doctor of the Church. I will be looking to publish this new work in the next day or two. Thank you.
As the letters after my surname would suggest, I am a member of a religious order; Third Order, Society of St. Francis. I am serving a second term of office on the Provincial Chapter of the Order, as Provincial Secretary and Trustee, my new six-year incumbency starting in February 2023. I have been a Tertiary Franciscan since my profession in 1996. As well as writing poetry, I enjoy the theatre, and have been a member of a local theatre company. I enjoy cricket too, and am a Life Member of Sussex County Cricket Club.
I hope you will enjoy browsing over this site, and that you will find something to help you on your spiritual journey.
