Jesus, Be My Light in the Darkness

30 Days of Catholic Prayer for Trauma Recovery (Deacon O'Maley's Catholic Books)

Jesus, Be My Light in the Darkness: 30 Days of Catholic Prayer for Trauma Recovery is a deeply pastoral, Eucharist-centered devotional designed to walk Catholic listeners through a month of healing, consecration, and restoration. Authored by Deacon John O’Maley—a West Point graduate, former U.S. Army Ranger Captain, and seasoned Catholic deacon—this guide invites trauma survivors into a sacred space of prayerful surrender, offering daily spiritual nourishment rooted in the redemptive suffering of Jesus Christ.

Each of the 30 days includes a Eucharistic Scripture passage, a focused theme, a liturgical reflection, a suggested spiritual action, and a heartfelt Catholic prayer. The structure is intentionally crafted to draw hearts closer to the healing power of the Eucharist, encouraging unconditional surrender and transformation through Christ. The tone is formal, pastoral, and liturgical—making this devotional ideal for personal prayer, parish recovery ministries, or Catholic counselors.

Whether the listener is recovering from grief, abuse, war, betrayal, or emotional suffering, this book proclaims that the Light of Christ shines brightest in the darkest valleys. It’s not just a devotional—it’s a journey into healing and a revival of faith in the Eucharistic presence of our Lord.
