Launching Epiphany of Light – a collection of poems and prayers for every day

Dear readers, I have a new book to celebrate with you. Epiphany of Light gathers a lifetime of reflection and devotion into four movements, each illuminating a facet of the journey to and with God. Comprised of collected poems and prayers for daily use, it provides support and companionship in growth, joy, struggle, gratitude, and renewal. It has received kind reviews and words of praise, I hope you will enjoy it. In movement 1, “Drops of Insight”, sudden flashes of clarity reveal God’s presence in the ordinary: flowers, service, family, the seasons, the tides of time—everything embodies the mystery of love. “Innermost Petals” turns the quiet spaces of home and memory into realms where the heart learns to hope, endure, and open itself to faith. The third movement, “Verses for America,” broadens the gaze to landscapes and voyages, weaving encounters with nature, and the soul’s longing for meaning, into a vision of a nation aimed towards enlightenment. Finally, “Prayers” brings us into direct conversation with God, in expressions of praise, worship, and strength, giving readers usable affirmations of trust in his infinite love.Epiphany of Light is a call to betterment, heartening readers on their walk of faith. Read in sequence or opened at random, it is a friend in solitude and an invitation to connection — a testament that illuminates life’s hidden corners. It includes a touching analytical afterword by Don Alessio Romano.

December Newsletter 2025

We are at that time of year when we can experience a feeling of suspension and emptiness. The apparent darkness allows us to rediscover meaning in the cycle of the year that is about to end. Often in this month we end up mixing personal and relational problems, misunderstandings and choices, with a feeling of fatigue that envelops our perceived reality. In our lives, time is extremely precious and must not be squandered. Each of us is a spark of light that can illuminate our own and universal consciousness and become, together with others, a generator of miracles and changes that not even the powerful of the earth can stop.
It’s Christmas, and this is precisely the time to recognize ourselves as deeply and confidently human. There is an extraordinary force that we all possess called “Love.” Let’s use it!
Look out for my two coming releases this month and next.
Merry Christmas!

August Newsletter

Here we are mid-month, and summer is still shining its powerful energies on us, keeping everything verdant, explosive, full of life, and infused with its colorful enthusiasm. This period of the year extends a gentle invitation to take some time away, in whatever place recharges the soul, so that we can open up to our contemplative or religious sentiments, where we can sense and perceive the Mystery that surrounds us. Doing so makes it easier to comprehend our present actions, to project our minds into the future and set our hearts towards the stars.
