Is this wrong??

[Chrystal]

I just have a quick question…

Is it wrong for me to take a portrait of Jesus off my wall to replace it with a picture of someone else?

I know that this may sound like a stupid question to some of you, but I just really felt like I had to ask. I don’t know, I just felt like maybe God is offended that I removed his picture to put someone elses picture there. I wasn’t doing like, “Sorry God, but I need to move you out of here.” It was nothing like that, but I just feel guilty for some reason.

Is my guilt valid? Or am I just being scrupulous again?

Thank you!

No it is not wrong. Why don’t you hang it somewhere else?

Then if it wasn’t like ‘sorry God, but I need to move you out of here’. Hang the picture of Him some place else, preferably a more prominant place then where you had it.

Nope, not wrong.

Every Lent, the Church puts the statue of Christ on the cross away, and every Easter puts Him back!

Every Advent, the Church puts the wreath out, and eventually puts its away again.

Rotating in an out devotionals and mementos is a perfectly acceptable practice. It makes thing more special, because you notice them more than if they were always there

So no, putting your portrait away is not a sin - although sometime from now, you may consider putting him back up again!

No,it is not wrong if your intention is good

I wouldn’t say so as long as you don’t completely squeeze him out - if you find that if you have an overwhelming number of pictures maybe you can even gift the picture to someone who can’t afford one.
