At The Speed of God

This second book of poetry, by Sister Mary Grace, is an invitation to notice and consider prayer in its various forms. In the first poem in the collection, "A Dime for Your Time," she marvels at how God chooses to show up without a word, without a sound. The silence of His unmistakable presence is sufficient to alter a moment in an ordinary routine. In "Curtis," we journey with a man who struggles to see the perfection in God's plan, as he must let "his heart inform his reason that reason has no place on this particular path." In "Dieffenbachia & Company," Sister describes the "silent prayer" of God's creation. Finally, after the sixty-three poems have been read and re-read and memorized, we pen a few of our own, as we wait for Sister's next collection.
