Hi folks. This work of mine includes a couple of self portraits. Have a good Easter and know that you are loved.
"One should never initiate anything that he cannot saturate with prayer." -- Unknown Saint.
"Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons, but they are helpless against our prayers." -- Sidlow Baxter
"Lent is like a long 'retreat' during which we can turn back into ourselves and listen to the voice of God, in order to defeat the temptations of the Evil One. It is a period of spiritual 'combat' which we must experience alongside Jesus, not with pride and presumption, but using the arms of faith: prayer, listening to the word of God and penance. In this way we will be able to celebrate Easter in truth, ready to renew the promises of our Baptism." -- Pope Benedict XVI
“Fasting is the soul of prayer, mercy is the lifeblood of fasting. So if you pray, fast; if you fast, show mercy; if you want your petition to be heard, hear the petition of others. If you do not close your ear to others, you open God’s ear to yourself.” -- St. Peter Chrysologus
"Lent is like a long 'retreat' during which we can turn back into ourselves and listen to the voice of God, in order to defeat the temptations of the Evil One. It is a period of spiritual 'combat' which we must experience alongside Jesus, not with pride and presumption, but using the arms of faith: prayer, listening to the word of God and penance. In this way we will be able to celebrate Easter in truth, ready to renew the promises of our Baptism." -- Pope Benedict XVI
"Everything in life has its own time. There is time to celebrate and there is time to mourn. This is the time for reflection and transformation. Let us look within and change into what we ought to be." -- Aaron Saul
We have got to take note of the following as its so powerful for our own spiritual health and the well being of all that has been created for us all... The universe was and is the most tremendous creation which is a gift to us from God.. I only lost my 14yr old son Harry Alan OKimble last year and Heaven fantastically gained a tremendous, talented soul.
“God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces of against evil …” -- E.M. Bounds
So I, my beloved brothers and sisters have fasted today and hit paper and paint, not bottle and sin...
Yep, I know a little wine gladdens the heart, but I am not able to do `little` so its a lot for me or none.
As its Easter its a great time to become tea total..which I am at this moment.
So please in your prayers, ask God to transform this into a permanent state of being for the rest of this lifetime. Thank you and thank you.
Have a peaceful Easter folks. Blessings, peace and love to you all. Your Brother in Christ, Peter.
