About This Blog
Ever since the disciples on the Road to Emmaus, the hearts of believers have caught fire. Hearts on Fire includes words and images intended to spark inspiration, thought, wonder, laughter and prayer. Please feel free to share with me what has inspired you in your spiritual journey. It may show up on this blog.
I am a firm believer in the longstanding Catholic belief that "truth is where you find it," and that all things good come from God. From time to time there will be materials from other faith traditions.
