Hi, I’m Carol. I gather prayers from saints across centuries and occasionally write about navigating modern struggles with faith.
According to thy mercy, pour out upon me, who am miserable, at least one small drop of grace to make me understand and be converted, that I might make at least some small effort to correct myself. For if thy grace does not illumine my soul, I will not be able to see the carelessness and negligence that the passions have produced in me through my apathy and recklessness.
+ St. Ephraim the Syrian, From the “Spiritual Psalter of St. Ephraim the Syrian”
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?
