Live with Joy

Author Don Morris lived his life with the joy of love. These heart-warming, yet challenging reflections will surely give plenty of food for thought in your search for wisdom.

Short and insightful, each reflection originally appeared in Morris' parish bulletin on Sunday. Now, you too can partake of the warm spirituality experienced by the author's fellow parishioners.

In this busy world, take a little time to reflect on God and ask yourself,

Why did God create me?

"Why Did God Create Me? is a treasure of grace and wisdom for our daily lives written by someone who deeply loves God and his neighbor. Donald Morris is an inspiring example of genuine, humble, and good-humored care for family, community, Church, and those in need. Enjoy these sincere and faith-filled reflections."

"God's grace, His brilliance, His love, and His care come to us vividly through the reflections of His messenger, Don Morris. The unity and oneness of Don and Theresa symbolically entrust us with the vision of true Christianity, our mission under Christ, and the map for that difficult road to our eternal home. Don's talented narrations will always remain in my heart and mind as a homily of God's expectation and opportunity."

"Often as we were invited to ‘break open the words of the Scripture,’ not many take time to do so. What a privilege we had of sharing every week in our own Parish Bulletin, the insights of Scripture and the truths of our faith, presented in words that really make us think about the truths that guide our life! Don’s thoughtful reflections are an avenue of invitation to ruminate and savor what God wants to share with us for the fullness of this life in preparation for the next."

Sr. Beatrice Pieper, CSC

"Why Did God Create Me? is a truly inspirational book that touches the soul and warms the heart with God’s love and compassion. Each reflection offers a powerful invitation to deepen our relationship with God through meditation and self-searching."
