Monday of Week 24 in Ordinary Time

There should be prayers offered for everyone.
Petitions , intercessions and thanksgiving.
It should be like a thing done.
Before the final reckoning.

I was looking at a picture by Bartolomeo Schedoni.
Of the Holy Family teaching the child to read.
Here was golden light one could almost feel and see.
Here was love and care freed.

The picture so intimate.
The virgin’s face so beautiful .
One felt resigned to any fate.
It made one’s heart full.

A picture so small.
And from it one walks tall.

…….

What’s in a picture
Inspiration, Beauty
Walk away happy

See 1 Timothy 2: 1-8
