A Time Will Come
by Dennis Billy, C.Ss.R.
This collection of poems covers a wide variety of themes: light and darkness, life and death, faith and doubt, courage and fear, time and eternity, true self and false self—to name but a few. It is rooted in the Catholic faith and seeks to address questions that arise along the spiritual journey. It is also rooted in the belief that what is most private in human experience is also the most universal. May these poems touch your heart and help you to draw closer to the One who gave you Life and who keeps you in existence from one moment to the next.
