“Poetry is a beautiful way of expressing feelings - happy, sad, angry, caring. It's also a way that we share with other people, to help them with those feelings.”

Mattie, some might say, seemingly had little to offer, but he had YES. Mattie came from humble beginnings and lived a difficult and pain-filled life, but a life borne with grace and conviction and happiness. Mattie chose to focus on blessings, not burdens.

Please tell me who is writing the hilariously dramatic copy for this guy on the @weatherchannel. Set them up for the Bulwer Lytton award. Maybe just give us the information 😂

A friend of our #MattieStepanek made a visit to his place of rest at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, Silver Spring, Maryland, to ask for prayers and leave flowers.
Have you considered making a prayerful visit to Mattie’s grave to ask for Mattie’s intercession?

“It was First Holy Communion day for the second graders. We stayed for the reception afterwards. One day, I would like to help teach the little children as they really begin to know God and Jesus in their own hearts."

I jumped on board soon after you started, and it changed my outlook. I drifted off doing it on social media but it is a part of my morning coffee to give thanks for something silly or profound. Well done on a beautiful way to evangelize.
So delighted to see my books taking on a new life internationally!!!! Thank you!

Mattie’s dependence on the love and mercy of Jesus allowed him to proclaim a message of peace to all the world.
Let us be ever aware of the love Jesus has for us so that we, like Mattie, may bring forth goodness to all those we encounter.

From a very young age, Mattie insisted that God spoke into his heart. Sometimes, the messages strengthened Mattie’s spirit as he coped with the loss of his siblings and other personal challenges —

Mattie’s poem, “For Our World” allows us the opportunity to sit and pray with his words as we mourn the loss of those who perished on #September11, 2001.
