I love looking through pictures of the saints. Post links to your favorite pictures (paintings, drawings, photos, movie clips etc…) of the heroes in Heaven here so we can all see:D !

Here’s one I really like of St. Joan of Arc from The Passion of Joan ff Arc

imdb.com/media/rm3932854272/tt0019254

very emotional
 
I really like this clip of St Padre Pio celebrating Mass: youtube.com/watch?v=cqLxUExgZVQ - his expression from 22 seconds to 29 seconds is just so filled with awe and a child-like wonder, it’s very sweet to watch. Plus he looks like my Uncle Morris 😃
 
I really like the picture of Saint Laurence kneeling in front of a grill holding an olive branch and a book of the gospels. I also like the picture of Saint Martin cutting his cloak and giving it to a beggar. My grandparents (R.I.P.) had those pictures in their house and there was a third picture but I haven’t been able to figure out who it is.
 
You’re going to find my pics sappy and trite since they came from the days when Mary & the other saints were depicted as the queens of beauty from an earlier era. (Kind of looking at the vintage calendar colorbrushed photography from the 20s and 30s.)

So…please don’t make fun of their “sapiness.”

I tried to cut these to size for easy loading.

I also linked to the Patron Saints Index in case you’re not familiar with them. Here we go…


Salve Regina


St. Anne de Beaupre


St. John Nepomuk
(or Nepomuky, or Nepomuncene)
Saint of the Confessional


St. Teresa of Avila


St. Germaine Cousin of Pibrac


St. Brigid of Ireland


…and I am fervently praying for the canonization of
Archbishop Fulton Sheen.

Oh, I think they’re all lovely. Thank you so much for sharing them!

St. Michael, by the divine power of God, thrust into hell satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world seeking the ruin of souls.

MOST excellent representation of St. Michael. So much action in that scene!

**This thread is quite inspiring. **

MORE PICS! MORE PICS! MORE PICS!
(Even if it’s just a link.)
 
One I’ve been learning about recently and who I am drawn to because of his gentleness:

I love St. Faustina and the image of Divine Mercy (see my signature for a link).

I love this of the Holy Family:

This one is just beautiful and I had to share it (I hope to buy it and use it as a reminder that Mary did housework too!):

😃 Looking forward to seeing more from everyone…

The Littel Flower! Oh, her way was a HARD way. At least Teresa the Great had people to fight, but no, Therese was docile and obedient and know what? The “Little Way” is SO much more difficult to follow!

Oh, do you really think so? 😦 Because, I think St. Therese intended her “Little Way” as a method that all of us “little souls” could follow (with some measure of success). We’re not all “great souls”… as was, for example… Mother Teresa of Calcutta.

But St. Therese “Little Way” is so attainable for us! Here’s an example. Last night, I really… reeeeeeeeeally wanted a Pepsi 😊 but then, I noticed a picture of Jesus… and instead of the Pepsi… I had cold water, for Him. “Little Way” touchdown! 😃 I don’t always make touchdowns… but there’s a million “little” things which we can do for Jesus, each day.

I totally agree! I do similar things sometimes. 😃 👍

It wasn’t just Therese’s actions of sacrefice and reparation, it was the way she conditioned her mind to be so…pure.She cleansed her soul - and offered it up to Jesus - for US! Truly amazing in such a short life.

The other Teresa was pure but had to fight her neighbors, townsfolk, the Inquisition, confessors who told her to make rude gestures at her apparitions, scandal, weather, and anything that got in her way of building convents. She was also very blunt with Our Lord. One anecdote goes,On one occasion Teresa complained to God about her mistreatment from so many different people. God replied to her saying “That is how I always treat my friends” with good humour St Teresa replied “That must be why you have so few friends!” (from here)I cannot imagine the Little Flower thinking this. I am rather feisty myself, so I wanted to choose Teresa as my patron to learn when to speak and when NOT to speak. Hee!

.
Therese’s Little Way was much more difficult, to me. It was the “little sacrefices” which surpassed our immediate wants and desires that weren’t my particular charism – I’d rather be out there with hard justice tempered with the most sincere humility. I sincerely admire those who can do the “Little Way” quietly and in charity and without making Pharisees of themselves.

And now back to our regularly scheduled thread…

Well, you’re right. St. Therese DID work at it. I was just curious, though… have you ever read her biography… “The Story of a Soul”? If not… I would recommend it to you. It’s a charming (but honest) look at her life.

Because, she fully confesses the difficulties she had in her childhood and youth (and her years spent in the convent). She struggled with things… and this is how the “Little Way” was born. One of her greatest assets was her prayerfulness. Perhaps that is the key? 😉

MOST AGREED!

I only skimmed her story of the Soul – mor elike Internet Cliffs notes. 😦 I know, I suck at looking things up at work. When I get home, I will look into that (and a couple of other topics) a little more.

THANK YOU most sincerely for your patience with me.

And NOW, before we are accused of hijacking this thread…more pics!

When I read the bolded sentence, I read it too fast and read “playfulness.” I haven’t read “Story of a Soul” (I hope to) but I was going to say that it was her child-like, innocent faith is what brought her along her “little way” to Jesus…being playful and innocent like a child, trusting in Him like a child would, lavished great blessings.

😃

Oh, I love this thought! 🙂 And you’re so right, Belle. St. Therese did indeed have a childlike faith in Jesus. Did you know, that on her Profession Day… she voiced a wish that it would snow (even though it wasn’t the time of year for snow) and Our Lord GRANTED her wish? It snowed on her Profession Day! 🙂 I hope that you will read “The Story of a Soul”! I’ve read it about 4-5 times… and hope to read it again. I would recommend this book to everyone! God bless.

That’s awesome!! 😃

I definitely want to read it…I so enjoyed St. Faustina’s Diary and I’m now reading The Secret Diary of Elisabeth Leseur (the woman whose goodness changed he husband from atheist to priest). It’s wonderful! Elisabeth has been called a “married St. Therese of Lisieux.” She isn’t a saint yet, but there is a cause for her canonization. I don’t know how to check the status of it though – does anyone know?
