Sacrifice and Imitation

A simple photo on Facebook. Here we have two people with arms stretched out like Jesus. The interpretation of the image or the idea of Spiritual messaging is diverse. Seek your own interpretation.. Visual Messages do provoke us to think about what we believe. In this case, Are these two people willing to be sacrificed with Christ?

Prayers for Mother Earth: Gratitude, Compassion, Repentance, and Guidance|Paperback

Mary Jane Miller has given words for us to cry out and reflect, in unison or alone, with gratitude, repentance, compassion, and guidance for Mother Earth's preservation. The ancient traditions for prayer and contemplation have been passed from generation to generation and are still of grave importance today. Prayers for the Earth are recitations of love and reflection, they can be said alone or in a group. They are powerful, they nurture the soul, fuel the heart, and uplift the spirit. We often focus on human needs: the sick, isolated, aged, imprisoned, and those in peril. Adding our devotion and respect for God's plan revealed on Earth may be prudent. Our contemporary society needs to allow us to pause long enough to appreciate our delicate, at times imperceptible relationship with Mother Earth. Planet Earth is listening, her natural order is stressed, she sees our human dilemma, and she is calling us to pay attention.
"There is much to be done and even more to readjust. Like many people …

There is nothing on this planet that does not recreate itself, birth itself. Corn seed, dolphins, and even clouds imitate themselves again and again over millennia. The archetype of Motherhood is everywhere and in every culture and religion.

Icon painting technique | Mary Jane Miller Icons | Guanajuato

Mary Jane Miller has been steeped in the byzantine style egg tempera icon painting tradition since 1980. It is not easy to be driven by something you can’t see, to become completely absorbed by a desire you’re afraid to follow or ignore. In her studio, painting, patience and prayer are the every day format. Iconographers live and work in a sort of double dimension where time and space are distorted, image and content change reality, and solitude speaks volumes. Miller and her spouse Valentin Gomez, are both self-taught and have been quietly working together for 25 years... Workshops...
Valentin works in the repoussé technique and I design and paint. Living in Mexico, our dream is to add a few more icons to those existing in the world, hoping that this great sacred art tradition will continue in liturgy and prayer for a long time to come. The technique and egg tempera medium enabled us to realize something quite intimate about God, that is, “we create as we are created”. In their hearts …

Rejoice in the magic, the mystery, the miracle inherent in the fact that water does what it does … life-giving and pure as crystal. It holds the key to keeping us alive and healthy…all designed by God himself. We do need to bless the water; it’s a blessing in itself.

Miller is quickly becoming a catalyst for change. The voices of women and female saints have not been sufficiently included in the church's teachings. The contemporary commentary going on about Christian traditions and women is changing the landscape of religion and spirituality. LinkedIn: Log In or Sign Up

August 22- A day of reflection fro all Christians

Leo XIV urged all the Catholic faithful to join in a spiritual campaign this Friday for peace in the world. August 22 is the feast of the Queenship of Mary, according to the Novus Ordo liturgical calendar, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary in the traditional calendar of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church.
Addressing the crowd, Leo said:
Mary is the Mother of believers here on earth and is also invoked as Queen of Peace. As our earth continues to be wounded by wars in the Holy Land, in Ukraine, and in many other regions of the world, I invite all the faithful to live the day of August 22

So much to learn from MARY, Queen of Contemplation

The balance of images of women is heavy on the side of Mary, the Queen of Contemplation. Yes, this is the highest honor, but ask your friends how much time they spend contemplating, or in prayer, and you shall see the church has failed to teach us mystical thought and open heart.

Ancient prayer traditions and contemplation have been passed from generation to generation and are still alive today. Recitations of love and reflection, alone or in a group are powerful, they nurture the soul, fuel the heart, and uplift the spirit. We focus a great deal on human needs, the sick, isolated, aged, imprisoned, and in peril. It may be prudent to add our devotion and respect for God’s plan revealed on Earth. Our contemporary society does not allow us time to pause long enough to appreciate our delicate, at times imperceptible relationship to the natural order that surrounds us.
