Our Name, History, and Devotions
It's been a year since the birth of the Red Sunflowers podcast. Although our first episode wasn't released until a few months later, July of 2020 was when things started to take shape for this podcast. We discuss a bit about the history of our podcast, including the reasoning behind the name. July is traditionally dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus, so we also spend some time sharing about this devotion and other devotions we have.
Our intention this month is for good, wholesome, and rejuvenating recreation. Have a great summer.
Here's the poem, "Come over to me" by Fr. Thomas Dominic Rover, O.P.
Come over to me, all you who are restless, and I will teach you how to be quiet, how to leave yourself alone.
Come over to me, all you who are anxious, even if I don't take your anxiety away, I will change it into fresh currency,
as you turn your cares
into greater belief in my caring.
Come over to me, all you who are lonely,
I was lonely too,
and could find no place
to lay my head.
Come over to me, all you who worry
what others really think about you.
It doesn't matter.
They misunderstood me, no matter what I did.
Come over to me, all you who are always
talking and pleading and explaining yourselves to others.
I know you inside out. I know the worst.
So you can come to me without any explanations.
Come over to me, all you whose great plans for yourself have failed.
You don't know how lucky you are.
And others too.
Come over to me, all you who can't stand yourselves.
I touched lepers,
and once I called a man out of a tomb
who had been stinking there for four days.
So come over to me–
I can stand just about anything.
Come over to me, all you who can't stand other people.
I know what is behind their misery.
I know the worst in them
as I know it in you.
And I embrace you both.
Come over to me, all you who fret about the past.
I was there, I was part of your past,
and I have forgotten all about it.
So be like me and forget it too.
Come over to me, all you who can't live peacefully in the present.
Come to me now, without reserve.
That is the way to live peacefully in the present.
Come over to me, all you who fear the future.
Do not fear. I am your future.
