Reach for Your Hand
By: J. M. Vera





My hand searches for your fingertips,
My eye looks for your curved hips,
The sad clouds cry storms for me.
Unknown caller ID…
“He…” “WAKE UP!”… Here comes the apocalypse…


            The poem entitled Reach for your Hand is a limerick poem, and is the first ever attempt by Justin to try to tell a story in something so short. The purpose of this poem was mainly to entertain. The poem is basically a dream, where the persona is dreaming of someone he cannot find when… a unknown call comes in, as he is about to answer a loud shout wakes him up. It should be inferred that it is his mother calling and she most likely is not in a good mood if he is saying “Here comes the apocalypse”. A limerick poem has a rhyme scheme of AA-BB-A and is meant to be humorous or ironic. In the poem itself the most notable literary devices are: Personification, and Alliteration.

Lent 2025

As we approach lent, we must think of three things: prayer, almsgiving, and fasting.  Prayer - According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC), prayer is "the raising of one's mind and heart to God" or "the petition of good things from God in accord with His will," With Ms. Anselma in an RCIA class we spoke of how prayer could feel like we are trying to go around God's will and make our own happen. This definition from the Catechism clarifies it "the petition of good things from God in accord with His will," This lent I will continue to pray the rosary daily, but I will pray one in the morning (6:00 a.m.) and one in the evening (3:00 p.m.). Almsgiving The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) defines almsgiving as giving to the poor or performing acts of charity. I always struggle with this. I had to google ideas for almsgiving. I feel like donating clothes but people my size aren't as common...or possibly needy. Spending time teaching...

PRAY OR DIE!

I read it.  Fr. Antonio's book was great. It was an easy read, and it provided me with a lot of help when I was struggling to start praying again. I still need to work on the habit of daily prayer but through things in this book I have a deeper appreciation for my prayer life. Thank you, Fr. Tony, I only wish I read it sooner. If you want to watch a series on the book with the author himself, I put a link below.  10 Episode Series of Pray or Die
