Michael Gormley
Married to his college sweetheart, and as father to four children, Mike balances his full-time parish work with speaking and traveling. In evangelization and discipleship training, his main task is bent toward unifying personal faith with a sacramental and biblical worldview. If Christ is truly present in the Eucharist of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, then that summit of Christian faith has to be found in every inch of Scripture. And it is. Leading parish missions, youth conferences and diocesan events, Mike Gormley helps Catholics find Jesus Christ and make him alone the Lord of their lives.

Tomb-Opener
Tomb-Opener
John 11:38-44
Just when the smell of death
Becomes unbearable
And the huge stone blocking light
Seems unmovable,
You send your angels in disguise
To let in light and refresh the air.
And in our returning to life
We discover that some blockages
Are far too massive
For us to remove by ourselves.
Today : I am ready to be untombed.

The Magnificent
The Magnificent
The Qur’an
I honor and praise you, Magnificent One,
For your awe-inspiring works of wonder.
For your glorious flinging of stars
Into the depths of our vast universe.
For your persistent, careful sculpting
Of hearts of stone into hearts of flesh.
For your willingness to carry our pain
And strengthen our hope for healing.
For your astounding resourcefulness
Enriching our lives with your goodness.
Today : I offer praise to The Magnificent.

Hidden One
Hidden One
Even though you are fully present
I do not always detect your nearness.
I look for you, anticipate you,
Listen for a hint of your voice
Like a tulip bulb in placid soil
Waiting for the call to rise up.
You will reveal yourself in due season.
In the meantime, I walk in faith,
Trusting you are in the heart of life,
Secreted in darkness but ever present.
Today : I have faith in divine hiddenness.

Savior
Savior
Luke 2:8-11
Save us from all that keeps us
From giving our hearts to you.
Save us from all that restrains us
From sharing our love with others.
Save us from all that deceives us
By diversion and self-centeredness.
Save us from all that entices us
Into conscious, destructive deeds.
Save us from ignorance of our worth
And from choosing to live our life fully.
Today : I see what needs saving in my life.

Beautiful Presence
Beautiful Presence
Macrina Wiederkehr
How often I savor your presence
In the toss and turn of my everyday life.
The little moments of recognition
That bring me home to your beauty.
The kind gestures of thoughtfulness
That touch me in life’s turbulence.
The enriching, nurturing experiences
That renew and enliven my spirit.
And the ways you make yourself known
In the loveliness of nature’s diversity.
Today : I am attentive to Beautiful Presence.

The Disturber
The Disturber
Wake us up
To what needs doing,
And what needs undoing.
Wake us up
To what must be let go,
And what to draw closer.
Wake us up to what enlarges love
And what diminishes it.
In all parts of our life,
Disturb and wake us up!
Today : I become wider awake.

Pardoner
Pardoner
Karl Rahner
I have stood before you
On numerous occasions,
Knowing my transgression,
Guilty, fairly convicted.
You reach out mercifully,
Drawing my regret toward you
With a generous reception.
In that moment of pardon
The falseness in my life
Dissolves in your tenderness.
Today : I accept the divine pardon offered me.
