Hi, I’m Carol. I gather prayers from saints across centuries and occasionally write about navigating modern struggles with faith.
Saint Augustine (354-430) created this poetic prayer to the Holy Spirit:
Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit,
That my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit,
That I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit,
To defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit,
That I always may be holy.

This book isn’t just about shining a light on the cracks within the church—it’s about healing them. It challenges leaders and congregants alike to wrestle with tough questions:
Are we creating a space where people feel safe sharing their deepest struggles?
Do we offer meaningful support, or are we too caught up in appearances to notice the pain behind the smiles?
How can we make the church a place of radical love and transformation for everyone—not just those who fit neatly into its expectations?
