FORTUNA FLOW POETRY VOLUME I represents some of the fruit of Fr. Stan's continuing response to the challenge of the great St. Pope John Paul II: "If the Church holds back from culture, the Gospel itself falls silent. Therefore, we must be fearless in crossing the cultural threshold of the communications and information revolution now taking place (March 1, 2002)."
This first collection of contemplative poetry is based on Fr. Stan's encounters at home and on the road through his missionary travels around the globe. On-location photographs by Fr. Stan of these encounters accompany some of the poems. His Seraphic Father Francesco d'Assisi was a poet as was his major hero, Pope Saint John Paul II the great Doctor and Father of the Church.
