Hi, I’m Carol. I gather prayers from saints across centuries and occasionally write about navigating modern struggles with faith.
Hanging as a vine upon the Wood,
O Christ our Saviour,
Thou hast made the ends of the earth
to drink from the wine of incorruption.
Therefore do I cry aloud:
I am darkened always by the hateful drunkenness of sin;
Give me to drink from the sweet wine of true compunction,
and grant me now the strength, O Saviour,
to fast from sensual pleasures,
for Thou art good and lovest mankind.
Amen.
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?
