Pantokrator
Would that we listened to his mercy, to his gentle, soft voice as he begged to heal our wounds. Would that we looked twice at his loving gaze, at the selfless passion that saw a broken truth he wished to heal. Would that we lived as he taught us, putting our eternal souls - our greatest treasures - above drunken bursts of pleasure...

My daddy—he once told me don’t ever play with nuns they’ll hit you with their rulers it won’t be any fun I snuck out of that prison and now I’m on the run Once freed from that schoolhouse I sunbathed in the sun I stayed out late, I went on dates looking out for number-one When I think of what I went through of all the...

I Drank the Blood
I drank the blood. Shuffled up to the altar, pearly white shoes scraping over faded white tile dirtied by the footsteps of countless sinners. (I knew, even then, that that same grime already claimed my soul.) I accepted the golden chalice with shaking hands and brought it ever so gently to my lips. It tasted like poison, but I drank...

O Holy Night
Fall is breathing its dying breaths and a chill settles deeper into the air. The first flakes of snow have dusted the ground leaving the world glimmering, starlight reflecting off each crystal and casting a beautifully eerie glow. Nighttime silence is unbroken save for the sound of my surreptitious breaths, which cloud in front of me as they’re slowly released. I can sense...

Reignite - Promethea
The slowly imploding borders of an ancient empire, lights flickering in a vast array of circuitry, a battered starship adrift in the inky void- our Church. Yet, though the titaness is harried, old, and worn down, shrinking, ridiculed, belittled, and cursed, She is still strong... A network of vast potential, seemingly obsolete and crumbling, could bloom again with the radiance of a thousand suns. Break...

Abide in Me
In anger, I scream at the wall. In pain, onto my pillow I fall. I take it out on my bed, punching, my face turns red. I grab my razor out of despair, "nobody will see if I make the cut there." For a minute, the pain subsides, I take a breath as red fills the line. For a brief time, I finally...

Life Sought in Death
How shall it be that at His death His breath Sings a solemn anthem on repeat So sweet, As if He is not met with strife In life. The truth lies not in nailing knife, He knows no desperation. His death is our salvation; His breath so sweet in life....

Facies Dei
Most radiant host, angelic glory be Within thy blesséd grace, Portal of Faith. In simple form You came, yet still through thee We see theophony, through which God saith, ¨Dear child mine, most valiant flesh now is thine. Hereby thy peace I grant, through darkest night With burden light and blood of freshest vine. My veil, most pale, shines forth the brightest...

A Catholic Boy
Push me in the door once more. Scrub me for the alter. Return me to the sacraments, the rituals, the wafer and wine. Place me, dazzled among votive candles, that are such fat bones for the weak flesh. To each Holy Sister, a token, a little lingerie kept secretly- a sign, that love with all its depths, frippery and frills, will prevail. On a Sunday, we will lower Him, from the...
