Fine Art Friday - Baby Jesus
Since we are at the end of Respect Life Month, we are highlighting the most beautiful baby in the world, Baby Jesus. Most of these pictures are from holy cards or Italian websites. I don't know who the artists are but I did not want that to stop me from sharing these images with you.

God Given Thorns
Shared by Sue
Strange gift indeed – a thorn to prick,
To pierce unto the very quick,
To cause perpetual sense of pain;
Strange gift! And yet, was given for gain.
Unwelcome, but it came to stay;
Nor could it e’en be prayed away.
It came to fill its God-planned place –
A life-enriching means of grace.
O much-tried soul, with fainting heart,
The thorn with its abiding smart,
With al its wearing, ceaseless pain,
Can be the means of priceless gain.
And so whate’er thy thorn may be,
From God accept it willingly;
But recon Christ, His life, His power,
To keep thee in the trying hour.
And sure – thy life will richer grow;
His grace sufficient will bestow;
And in heaven’s morn thy joy will be
That by this thorn He strengthened thee.
Abortion and Politics...and Voting
H/T to Kathy
Kathy also suggests that we bring our holy water and blessed salt to the voting booth. Excellent idea! I wish I could do that but we've already voted. Read it here
