Talking the Talk is Simple, Walking the Walk-Not So Much
The Lamb is Coming! An Advent Prayer

Prepare the way of the Lord,
Make straight a highway for God!
For Hearts that are filled with sorrow and pain,
Comes He who gives us reason to sing and proclaim!
Let us clean out our Spirit of dark sin and shame,
Repent and seek forgiveness and from ill will refrain!
We will gather all belongings of Spirit and Matter,
And lay them all at His Cross, in the blood and the splatter!
For this Advent the focus must be on our heart,
Let him break it and scatter it to His every part!
We must open to Jesus in all word and deed,
As we wait his next coming, which is for us indeed!
So, as St. John the Baptist cried so long ago,
“The Lamb comes among us; let him make our Hearts glow!

About the Author
I am a wife and mother of two grown sons. Although I am Cradle Catholic, I experienced a profound reversion to the True faith several years ago that motivated and inspired me to dive more deeply into an understanding of the Church and Her teachings, and why She has these teachings and where they come from. Surprisingly, for me, the more I read and discovered, the deeper my love of the Catholic Church and her teachings became. This certainly is a journey that doesn't end, and so as I uncover more amazing facts about our Faith and Church, I just can't help but want to share what I'm learning. So, I began writing for Catholic 365.
I have recently served for a year and a half as the Executive Director of a very active and busy Crisis Pregnancy Center on the West side of Cincinnati. God is so good and does answers prayers, even though He knows at times, we have no idea what we are asking for. The pro life cause is paramount to our times, I am so honored and humbled to have had the experience and opportunity to serve women and the unborn in this capacity! I am also very grateful to God, for allowing me to see for myself, that perhaps such a calling was not His long term plan for me. We go where God seeminly calls us, and for me, that was a return to corporate America. I currently work as a recruiter and sales onboarding specialist where I am helping a Franchising company open and support small businesses that serve seniors and the elderly, giving them opportunities to age in place and live thier final chapters with dignity. It is the other end of the pro life spectrum and such an amazing endeavor!
I love being able to share this great faith of ours and use this platform as a way to express my deep love and devotion to our Lord. We need each other, and this effort has truly become a wonderful way to connect with all of you- my brothers and sisters in Christ!
