Return to Me: Visits to the Tabernacle discusses tabernacle images with reflections on their symbolism, encouraging devotion to Jesus in the tabernacle and drawing readers to adoration at the tabernacle outside of a formal holy hour. Organized under the themes of Nourishment, Sacrifice, Jesus, Spirit, Church, and Mission, this book helps readers deepen their devotion to Jesus in His Real Presence. In addition to reflections from Scripture and tradition, the book includes photographs of tabernacles visited by the author to help guide the reader’s prayer and meditation. In so doing, they show the reader how to use visual images as a starting point for prayer, teaching readers how to enter more fully into their personal conversations with Christ by prayerfully “reading” their own tabernacle and those they encounter in their busy lives.

Unbaptized and unchurched as a child and atheistic as a young adult, Freddie was baptized into Christ at age 33 in a “non-denom” evangelical Protestant community. There, Freddie learned the spiritual value of fervent Christian fellowship in diligently seeking to understand and apply the divine wisdom of God’s written Word in the Sacred Scriptures. However, Freddie’s growing awareness of the serious limitations of studying Scripture absent objective doctrinal interpretation compelled him to investigate the question of authority. Through a providential encounter with a professional colleague who was an exceptionally well-informed Catholic, Freddie began an intensive process of dialogue and study. This process culminated in his conviction of the Catholic Church’s exclusively divine institution as the household of God, whose chief steward is the Bishop of Rome in unbroken succession from Peter. Freddie was received into the Church in 1998, six years following his baptism, and his marriage to Colleen, his legal wife of thirteen years at that time, was elevated to a sacrament. Freddie earned a graduate degree in theology from Christendom College in 2005. After thirty-five years in the DC suburbs of northern Virginia, Freddie and Colleen retired to south central Pennsylvania in 2021, where they are active in their new parish and maintain close relationships with friends and family, including their grandchildren and godchildren.
