    About this ebook

    There is an old legend talking about Mother Pelican striking her chest with the beak to feed her young with her blood in the time of the famine to prevent them from dying of starvation.

    Another version was that Mother Pelican was feeding her chicks who were on the brink of death to revive them with her blood for the cost of her own life.

    We can clearly see why the early Christians adopted it to symbolize our loving Redeemer, Jesus Christ, who sacrificed His life on the cross, whose blood is the price of our salvation and everlasting life.

    Moreover, our Savior still feeds us with the Eucharist, where He resides body, blood, soul, and divinity. What a privilege.

    In this little book of poetry, the author is confessing her love and giving thanks to Him who didn't hesitate to show His love for His children on the wood of the cross. He died in the most horrible death we can imagine. He suffocated so we can breathe easy and free in assurance of salvation in joy of living our life in Him, with Him, and for Him. He is the Priest, Altar, and Lamb of sacrifice. He is First and Last, Alpha and Omega.

    We ought to love Him with our whole heart.

    Every poem comes from the deep within the heart, blooms out of love for Him, arises from the faith, and hopes to bring a little light to our darkness.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      GOD's is grandeur and power

      Come, let us adore!

      All souls for You, my Jesus!

      Zeal for Your house,

      O Lord,

      Consumes me.

      I want to be lost in You, O Lord

      So You can find me.

      I want to be found by You,

      O Lord,

      So I can never be lost again!

      Jesus, I want to love You today

      Jesus, I want to personify You today

      Jesus, I want to assuage Your thirst today

      Jesus, I give You every beat of my heart today

      I give you every breath

      Mary, Most Holy

      Offer me Your little one

      To Your Most Holy Son

      Our King brother sacrifice

      I want our hearts to beat together

      I want to lay on Your Heart

      Like Saint John did

      And He said:

      Our hearts are one.

      Every day, I want to be with You

      And live for You and through You

      Every day, I want to love You

      More and more

      And everyone in You

      Like You love us

      I want to become love

      Which first of all loves You

      And then everyone else

      Where there is love

      There is mercy

      Like where there is air and the water

      There is life

      When I am empty

      Fill me with love

      So I can give mercy

      To all I meet

      I am alone and empty

      Come to me, Jesus

      So I can be You

      And not me at all

      What does it cost me

      To empty myself of me?

      It will cost me everything and all

      Fill me with Yourself, Jesus
