More than 350 Catholic poems with a new poem published each Wednesday.
1 John 3:20
God is greater than our hearts
Greater than our fits and starts
All our sighing, crying, plying
Our longing, wronging, lying
His love is infinitely far beyond
The love within us He has spawned
Only this can I with confidence say
His love will win out one happy day
Indeed, it will one grace-filled day

Since 2019, the Catholic Poetry Room (www.CatholicPoetry.org) has shared a new poem with readers each week. Poems range in style from formal to free verse to ekphrastics, with an honest expression of each author’s spiritual journey. Many Catholic Poetry Room adult readers are new to poetry and find the poems both accessible and enjoyable. The Catholic Poetry Room is also used by Catholic School teachers, who find the poems an excellent way to begin the day with their students, to pray, or use Catholic Poetry Room verse in their academic classes.
