We honor the Centenary of the Birth of Mother Teresa August 26, 2010
Smile of Charity, by Rick
Cannizzarro, OPAwww.motherteresa.org"What you are doing I
cannot do, what I'm doing you cannot do, but together we are doing
something beautiful for God, and this is the greatness of God's love for
us - To give us the opportunity to become holy through the works of
love that we do because holiness is not the luxury of the few. It is a
very simple duty for you, for me, you in your position, in your work and
I and others, each one of us in the work, in the life that we have
given our word of honor to God...You must put your love for God in a
living action."
~Mother Teresa, from WHERE THERE IS LOVE." |

In the Key of "G"by Mary Galvano-BajohrMy Gift of Song God calls each of us to fulfill a plan
that His divine providence can bring to spiritual fruition. Oft times,
we look at our life and realize that there are many roads that can be
taken in the process. But, the formula for success rests in allowing God
to read the map for us. Mary Galvano is a multi-talented woman from a
very talented family that certainly could have chosen any one of a
number of roads to take in her life. Yet, God in his mysterious and
quiet way kept leading her back to music. Mary has written a series on
her journey into song, one that encompasses a detailed orientation of
her personal and spiritual life and just how that connection to
surrendering to the will of God continues to move her. READ MORE... |
Artfully Speaking
Pope John Paul II Rick Cannizzarro is just an amazing instrument of God's love. If you are
in conversation with Rick, his exuberance for the creative process of
"creating for the Creator" will overwhelm you. He LOVES what he does and
he consistently points to God in thanksgiving for his gift. His
paintings reflect his connection to his spiritual life and the interior
beauty that God cultivates there. This week he shares with us the
portrait in oil he did of Pope John Paul II, one that garnered him a very
important title. READ MORE... |
