A statue of Joan of Arc is seen in the courtyard of the headquarters of France's National Front political party in Nanterre Jan. 5. France is marking the 600th anniversary of the birth of the saint, who, as a teenager, was burned at the stake after leading a military campaign against English invaders.

We take hope and wisdom from St. Therese of Lisieux's sayings and reflections from her Story of a Soul and other writings.
This cross section of the stem of a soybean seedling shows the early stages in a developmental process that will produce a stem capable of supporting the mature plant. I stained the section with two fluorescent dyes - calcofluor, which binds to cellulose cell walls and fluorescences blue in ultraviolet light and auramine O, which binds to lignin and fluorescences yellow. It's the lignin laid down in cell walls that gives the stem the strength it will need to support the leaves and flower. Working from the bottom left-hand corner towards top right, the core of the stem is filled with blue, thin-walled pith cells, which are simply packing tissue. Some of these have become slightly lignified and are fluorescing yellow and some, that are arranged in vertical rows of between two and five cells have distinctly thicker walls - these are xylem vessels, which are dead cells that form tubes that conduct water up the plant from the roots. Above those lies a broad band of blue-fluorescing thin-walled cells that are very small and arranged like piles of bricks. This is the cambium - the plant's stem cells that divide continuously to produce new xylem on the inside and new phloem elements on their outer surface. The small, bright blue-fluorescing cells on the outside of the cambium are the phloem sieve tubes and associated companion cells, which conduct sugars produced by photosynthesis in the leaves to other parts of the plant. The sinuous layer of yellow-fluorescing cells above the phloem are becoming lignified and these will contribute major structural rigidity to the stem as it grows, forming a continuous cylinder inside the stem. Outside of these lies the stem cortex, with blue cells becoming smaller in the layers just below the epidermis - and then the outer epidermis of the stem is covered in the yellow-fluorescing cuticle, which restricts water loss and defends that plant against pathogens. At the stage when this section was taken the stem was about 3mm. in diameter and about 10 centimetres tall.
Are you going through a tough time? Here are 8 promises of God you can count on in a crisis.
Create sacred space in the everyday with beautiful Catholic wall art and home décor! Sacred art brings the mysteries of our Faith to life, inviting us to deepen our relationship with Jesus Christ. The eyes are the window to the soul. This image depicts the world as seen through the eyes of faith. The nations stand beneath the Sun of God’s Mercy, in the shadow of the Cross. Although many walk in ignorance of the Saviour, their existence is nevertheless sustained by the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass – the precious offering throughout the world which makes present the Sacrifice of Calvary, reconciling sinful mankind with Our Heavenly Father. A perfect gift for a loved one's ordination or your parish priest. A Giclee print is nothing short of SPECIAL – a piece to last a lifetime. “Giclee” refers to a superior form of fine art printing, designed to translate a work of art into a print that preserves all the colour, detail and vibrance of the original. Giclees far exceed digital prints because: • They capture a wider array of colours. Giclee printers use 10-12 different archival-certified lightfast inks, whereas the digital printing process uses only 4 inks. • They require very high resolution and much finer spray. • They can handle a variety of substrates including heavy, textured paper and canvas. • Their reproductions are archival, lasting 100+ years without deterioration or yellowing. HAHNEMULHE PHOTO RAG: Photo Rag is Hahnemühle's flagship paper: a white, 100% cotton paper with a subtle surface texture, meeting the highest industry standards to create high quality fine are prints. LYVE ROLLED CANVAS: Lyve is considered one of the best fine art canvases for reproductions, finished with a timeless matte varnish. Rolled canvas prints come with a two-inch white border. All prints come with a one-page writeup in the form of a spiritual reflection, written by the artist, Adelaine Nohara.

I often dream of Jerusalem... hills and skies and the stone houses disappearing into the fabric of the landscape.. but mostly I dream of light, you can only find this light in Jerusalem. It seems that, instead of bouncing off the stone it gets absorbed by it, and the whole city becomes city build out of light.... after I came back from my last visit, every time I closed my eyes all I could see is this light, punctuated by the the dark eyes of the widows and doors...
