Is there room for someone like me?
If you have ever stood outside a church and wondered whether the door was meant for you, this book was written with you in mind.
Come to the Garden is a thirty-day devotional for anyone carrying questions of gender or sexuality who wants to know whether the love of Christ and the heart of His Church could truly hold them. It makes no arguments and asks for no declarations. It offers an open door, a lamp lit, and a seat kept at the table.
Each day gives you six things that take about fifteen minutes:
- Scripture — a passage printed in full, so you need nothing but this book
- A reflection written for the honest heart, never talking down to you
- A voice from tradition — Augustine, Ambrose, Bernard, Thérèse, Julian of Norwich and others, in their own words
- Questions asked kindly, the way a good counselor asks them
- One small action you can actually do today
- A prayer you can pray even on a day when you have no words
A piece of sacred art accompanies every day, drawn from the masterworks of Titian, Rembrandt, Dürer and others, rendered in gold for quiet contemplation.
The thirty days move through five movements:
- The Ache for Something Greater — why the longing you carry was never the problem
- Your Place in God's Kingdom — chosen, named, searched for, carried home
- Loving Yourself, Trusting His Purpose — the body, the wound, the good work begun in you
- Communion with God — learning to pray when prayer has felt closed to you
- The Church, His Bride — not a courtroom, but a mother with a lamp lit and a table set
The book closes with an intercession to St. Christopher for all those crossing the rivers of faith toward the Kingdom of God.
Written from a Catholic perspective, faithful to the Church's teaching, and warm to the person in front of it. For seekers and returners, for parents and friends who want to understand, and for priests, catechists and parish ministers looking for something they can hand to someone without wounding them.
Come as you are. He is already there, waiting, and He is asking for you by name.
Scripture quotations are from the World English Bible. For personal, family, and parish use.
