Our hope is God's Eternal Gaze

From YouCat:  If you have ever observed a baby nursing who looks for his mother's eyes as though it wanted to store up every smile forever, then you have some inkling of heaven. To be able to see God face to face - that is like one, single, never-ending moment of love. 

Thinking about Jesus gazing into His Mother's eyes ..... it is the same Jesus gazing at us lovingly in the Holy Eucharist .... it is the same gaze that God set on us since eternity and that is leading us to eternal life ...... allowing Him to gaze at us in the presence of Holy Eucharist and clothe us with His Love ....

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Cor 4:18

Lord, make me like a butterfly: let me fly from one moment to the next, staying long enough to live and savor Your presence in each moment and showering colorful smiles and comforting words as I go along. Mary, Mother of Love Pray for us. Amen.

Art and Faith

 
This image of the Holy Virgin Mary was painted for us by a friend. We thank him and thank God for His Spirit dwelling within us, He who brings man to express such beauty.
 
Thank you, Father,  for all the gifts you bestow on us. May You be praised, Father, in the hands and hearts of all artists, may You be glorified in all their works, may they experience your infinite Love in the depths of their hearts that they may produce works which lift our hearts, thoughts and spirit to You, unimaginable Beauty, oasis of Peace, sweet and humble Love.     Amen.
