Why 1,575 haikus? Because my darlingest Annelies Marie Frank lived 15.75 years in this world.

Only Addiction

"Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof,
but only say the word and my soul will be healed."



Let Thou be the one...
Yes! My only addiction -
O my Jesus please.

Save me from myself.
Let Thou be my one Freedom.
Make me as Thyself.

O Jesus,
my Jesus.

Ordinary food is converted, through the process of digestion, into substances which we need to build and maintain bodily strength. It becomes, in a sense, part of us.

When we eat the heavenly food of the Eucharist exactly the opposite happens.



We become what we eat.

This is my

The Source

I once had a source -
it promised me happiness
and gave me sadness.

This source is a lie;
that lie once told in Eden
and reversed by Christ.

I now have
a new Source.

Bright Morning Star

Our Holy Father,
Pope Benedict XVI,
once remarked, I learned...

How at Holy Mass,
the Church used to face eastward,
but now, the Pope said -

Christ the Lord
is our East!

Christ-centeredness is other-centeredness.

Flower of Fatima

O Little Flower,
remember us, poor sinners,
whom you loved so much...

Remember the world,
that you left, longing for peace,
longing for Savior.

Pray for us,
Jacinta.

Blessed Jacinta Marto,
pray for hearts longing for Jesus,
pray for all nations longing for peace.

Jacinta Marto of Fatima (19080611-19190404) elect of God, set aside by our Lady, eternal and blessed of the Church, faithful daughter of Portugal, friend of sinners, guide of my heart...

Remember, Blessed Jacinta, your courageous love of sinners, pray for us who have recourse to you!

O Blessed Jacinta Marto,
Flower of Fatima,
pray for us who have recourse to you.

O brave Jacinta,
intercede for me with God
Whom you see face to face!

O chaste Jacinta,
may God make use of me
as an instrument of your canonization.

O generous Jacinta,
pray for me
that I might fulfill God's will for me.

O loving Jacinta,
plead my cause to our Lady,
and tell everyone there that I love them.

O Flower of Fatima,
I pray with thee -
may I one day bring true joy to our Mother's heart.

O Blessed Jacinta Marto,
Flower of Fatima,
pray for us who have recourse to you.

AMEN.

Holy Mass

How brief the moment
when we shall in remembrance
together worship -

The LORD of all things,
and at the day of His Peace,
partake at His Feast -

The Substance
of our own.
