This is what I struggle with the most … I want so much to do everything for the glory of God, yet I want some of it for myself. The first beatitude is a good one for me to pray and practice …

I’ve only just discovered your blog … and what a shame because I am going to take a Lenten retreat from blogging, etc. Nevertheless, I am delighted at your honesty and heart. We don’t often get second chances, that is for sure, so I know you will do justice. I am especially looking forward to reading Irises.

This is so beautiful, so sublime. Every sentence portrays truth in a way that meets me like poetry and like action at the same time. I love this, and I love your motivation and your earnestness in seeking truth via your vocation. THANK YOU, Francisco. You inspire me.

“But remember always the honest beauty of bread and water. Believe in the invisible. Have an unshakeable faith in the existence of the soul, yours and the person you write for. If people call your writing religious because of this, so be it. Find others who have made or are on the same journey and cherish them as fellow travelers. ”
I love this. I loved your entire piece. so moving.
And finding others on the same journey is so essential. I cannot imagine life without them.

“The world’s great need will be met when you write the one novel you came into this world to write. It is the one that scares you the most, the one you think no one will publish and if it is published then no one will read and if it is read then no one will understand, except perhaps another soul like yours.”

I love this. I’ve been looking forward to reading IRISES and am positive my soul will relate.
