A Heart Journey Through Lent

Over years of writing, a number of poems have been gifted to Clarence that offer a fresh insight on a particular Gospel passage, the person of Jesus or relationship with God. This year, Clarence has assembled these poems through a daily meditation guided by the day’s Gospel reading. Make this Lent special by opening yourself to love in a new way. A Heart Journey Through Lent can be received through a daily email or a post on Facebook. Archives are available at A Heart Journey Through Lent.

A Piece of Goodness

A Piece of Goodness is a daily excerpt from one of Clarence’s poems, with convenient access to the entire poem for those who wish to engage it. These positive and often provoking messages are available through a daily email or a post on Facebook. Archives are available at A Piece of Goodness.

Connecting New

It is not unusual for recipients to feel that these messages come precisely at the right time for them. One reader’s affirmation captures a common reaction to these monthly messages: “Thanks so much for that wonderful poem we received today! I have printed it and will use it in my morning devotion time in the week to come, at least until something new and wonderful comes from you again!” Click here to subscribe to Connecting New.
