Catholic Poetry Room stained glass

Is the language of
my soul,

Offering light in
the darkness,

Bringing comfort in
sadness,

Creating strength in
times of weakness,

Balancing doubt with
conviction,

Allowing me to love and
be grateful

As I trust in God.

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.
