ABOUT ME
My name is Fr. Tracy O’Sullivan, O. Carm. My dream late in life is to teach people how to pray. Mature prayer is not about what we want but what an all-loving God wants for us. It is a long journey between our desires and God’s desires. In the end, it is all about true love. Jesus will teach us the way. We learn about Jesus through deep personal prayer. This is what our blog hopes to help you accomplish, walking in love with Jesus..
