a visit to my interior castle. (in search of the) Divine Mercy in my soul.
my guide: st. faustina.
791 Hide me, Jesus, in the depths of Your mercy, and then let my neighbor judge me as he pleases.
792 I must never speak of my own experiences. In suffering, I must seek relief in prayer. In doubts, even the smallest, I must seek only the advice of my confessor. I must always have a heart which is open to receive the sufferings of others, and drown my own sufferings in the Divine Heart so that they would not be noticed on the outside, in so far as possible. I must always strive for equanimity, no matter how stormy the circumstances might be. I must not allow anything to disturb my interior calm and silence. Nothing can compare with peace of soul. When I am wrongfully accused of something, I will not explain myself; if the superior wants to know (195) the truth, whether I was in the right or not, let her find out from others rather than from me. My concern is to accept everything with a humble inner disposition.
“Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands upon you. Practice these duties, devote yourself to them, so that all may see your progress.” ~ 1 Timothy 4:14-15
God inspires us in so many ways!
He sends us many different inspirations to
ignite our spirit & develop our souls.
(Just like Halloween-costumes.)
And I have met so many beautifully creative souls in blog-play-cyber-space!
I love how they (all) inspire me with their unshakable hope! (He is my rock-star!)
I love how they ignite my courage and help me to fluff-up my wings in my own attempts to fly-forward with my creative-pursuances. (I believe I can fly…I believe I can touch the sky…think about it every night and day…spread my wings and watch me play… Can I get an Amen, R. Kelly?)
One particular creative-spirit, whom I must acknowledge as one of my favorite bloggity-bloggers, is
I met this lovely young woman as I troddled through a few inspirational sites and I was drawn instantly to her doodles of INSPIRATION!
I STRONGLY encourage you to check-in at her blog space!
(It is a lovely slice of heaven and always manges to pick-me-up-nicely with each post she creates! )
Recently, I had the BLESSING of commissioning a little doodlie-do done by her! I asked Shannon (creator-extra-ordinare at Doodles Invigorate,) if she would wave her magic pencil and create an INSPIRE-ational graphic for me to use on my Instagram page to announce a NEW post on my site. And abbra-ca-dabbra her creative spirit whipped up a splendiferous delight!!
I love my custom-commisioned Instagram stamp done by Doodles Invigorate!
There are so many beautiful spirits filling our world.
The real.
And (even) the cyber.
I’m grateful for each one I’ve encountered.
And I look forward to those I will meet down the path I continue to troddle (upon.)
*I sure do hope I can commission one of these Peepity-Peep Sculptors someday…
Photos taken at the ‘Erie Peeps Show’ hosted by Villa Maria Elementary!
(I’m thinking in leau of an ice sculpture at our daughter’s wedding…
a peepity-peep creation instead! Brilliant!)
hugs n’ creative blessings!
“For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” ~Ephesians 2:10-11
