Hey, I’m Taylor! I’m a FOCUS Missionary!

Where I serve

I serve at THE Ohio State University.

My Story

I fell in love with the Lord after His constant pursuit of my heart. In a blessed moment during Eucharistic Adoration, Jesus revealed to me that He is truly present, Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. He has taught me much about His deep love for me as His Beloved, as well as the infinite, all-consuming fountain of love, mercy, and life-giving water that flows from His pierced heart. His Sacred Heart deeply burns for you, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. I desire to help Jesus reach souls that are lost and abandoned and bring His love to the brokenhearted. “At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd,” [Matthew 9:36]. Jesus wants to transfigure you and to radically pursue your heart. He will take care of everything. “Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom,” [Luke 12:32].

The will of God is often in the everyday situations and circumstances that He places before us. He is teaching me that I must strive to love each person He places in front of me as if they were Christ Himself. Without love, we are nothing. St. Paul tells us, “But I shall show you a still more excellent way. If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing,”. [1 Cor. 12:31-13:13] Our love is always being purified and taken deeper. It is my prayer that I may love each student not with my love, but with God’s Love, Jesus’s burning, merciful love from the Cross, so that they might come to know Him. I will always fall short in this, but if I approach Him as a child, He will take care of the rest.

For the Glory of the Kingdom, through the Passion of the Cross, Love you to Heaven!

 

 

Your Impact

By joining me on mission, you will help me quench Jesus’s ardent desire for souls when He proclaimed from the Cross “I thirst!”. Together, with the Holy Spirit, our partnership can change the trajectory of souls as they are led closer to and encounter Jesus’s Most Sacred Heart in the Eucharist, in the Sacraments, and in the Body of Christ. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,”. [Matthew 28:19] When He calls you to “come” will you go?
