Modern Catholic Prayers
I began writing prayers nearly 10 years ago and somewhere along the line, decided to collect them in a book.
Each time I picked up the project, I was reminded of my arrogance. How could I believe that I had words sufficient for prayer? In my life, I have succumbed to every addiction, every sin.
What could God possibly want with someone like me? What makes me think that God even listens to me?
These tiny prayers I have put down here are merely my way of asking God’s help for things that have burdened and confused the world. My hope is that others will find a connection with God through them.

From Father to Son....
Written 40 years after the birth of my son, this book of proverbs for living in a modern world was the result of having lost lost custody of him. Re-united three decades later, the book was written in the hope that wisdom passed on to me by my father could still be useful to my son. This pocket-sized book is handy for sharing the wisdom and humor of a father to his now grown son.
