O símbolo mais importante do natal cristão é o presépio. Ali, naquele pequeno cenário, montado geralmente sob os pés da árvore de natal, é retratado o nascimento do Cristo, o salvador da humanidade, segundo a tradição cristã. O presépio é item obrigatório nas comemorações religiosas de natal. Nas igrejas e nas casas dos fieis, o

“Today is the last day that I will be blogging.” That is the first line of the post which was supposed to appear today. I was calling it quits. The one thing which had brought me so much joy – blogging – had become something which was literally sucking the life out of me, and ... Read More about Finding My Blogging Center
The pocket oratory was made popular in the 1800's as a type of traveling altar. It was used much as they are today, by workers and travelers who may not be close to a Church when they'd like to pray. There is significance of the position of each item. I worked closely with iconographer David Clayton, who has given me the following information: As Christ on the Cross is the center of our Faith, so the crucifix is the center of the oratory. To the right should be a picture of Christ glorified or the Holy Face of Jesus. To the left should be an image of Our Lady. These three images are the heart of every pocket oratory. When you order one of these Triptychs, I will choose one out of my inventory. To be able to choose what you'd like on your oratory, please see my Custom Triptych listing or contact me to place an order for a Special Custom Triptych. Measures approximately 3x5 inches when closed.
¿Tu por qué tienes fe? Me preguntaba el otro día un joven con gran inquietud. Mi respuesta: Dios lo sabe, yo tengo la certeza de que no hay nada que pueda llenar el corazón como Jesucristo; tengo la experiencia de que fuera de Dios nada me ha da una felicidad así; no me cambio por nadie en el mundo. Sufro a veces y me duele, como todos, afronto problemas a diario, también peco y me confieso, no soy santo, pero quiero serlo y soy feliz porque se que Dios está conmigo. ¿Y tu, amigo lector, por qué tienes fe? Si de verdad la tenemos y nuestra fe es así de hermosa, ¿no deberíamos esforzarnos por compartir a Dios con todos los que tenemos cerca? ¿No deberíamos estar vigilantes para ver cómo hacer a Jesús presente con nuestras palabras y obras en cada momento? ¡El mundo necesita a Jesucristo! ¡Detrás de cada persona hay un corazón clamando y gritando ayuda! ¡Es urgente! ¡Es necesario! ¡No hay un solo minuto que perder! ¡No hay una sola coma del Evangelio que callar! ¡No hay nada de fe, de esperanza y de caridad que tengamos que guardarnos para nosotros! ¡Acaso hay algo comparable a saberse amado incondicionalmente pase lo que pase! ¡Jesucristo llena eso! ¡Acaso hay libertad más grande que la de saber que suceda lo que suceda mi vida le importa a Cristo! ¡Acaso hay alguna solución a los problemas graves de los hombres que pueda darse sin Dios! Nos creemos a menudo el cuento de que la fe es algo individual y privado… ¡Mentira! Dios no va a darse sin nosotros, los cristianos. Vivimos un tiempo de la historia apasionante, donde Dios sigue siendo indispensable, y tu y yo necesarios. Algo grande pasa, donde Jesucristo está. ¡Feliz día, amigo lector! Dios te bendiga.
Abrimos el número III Esta medallita se la he hecho para un bebe de mi falla, es como la de mi sobrino Roque. La medalla es la de San Vicente de los Niños de cuando yo era pequeña, por lo que debe tener más de 40 ó más años.....
By looking at this you are probably thinking what is up with those little wiggly things......every spring our 4 big pecan trees in the front yard drop these .......it's a mess and until they finish falling off it looks like its raining worms..........We have been blessed with days and days of rain and although we aren't complaining it has become really serious with flooding problems all over the state.......and I think it will continue over this holiday weekend......so if you are out and about be careful and safe! and with all the rain I am back at it again..........I went...
