St. Louis Vintage - First Attempt


This is my first attempt at the Vintage Poster Card Look. I am not sold on this one but still thought it came out pretty cool.

Christ Resurection - Stained Glass - St. Louis


Romans 1:4-5
And Jesus Christ our Lord was shown to be the Son of God when God powerfully raised him from the dead by means of the Holy Spirit. Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name. (NLT)

Are You Ready


The detail I find in the Stained Glass Windows of some of these churches is simply amazing. This is a closeup of the Roman Guard coming face to face with the Resurrected Christ.

Lamb will be my Guide

The Lord of hosts my Shepherd is
O sweet these words to me; 
And Thou, dear Lamb, will be my Guide 
Throughout eternity. — Kendrie

We Three Kings


I took several shots of these three bottle of oils until I found this one that I really liked.  I love the way the middle oil topper picks up the reflections of the candles. The bottles reminded me chess pieces so hence the post title We Three Kings.

Modern Style Holy Family Wood and Stain


I found this rather unique looking carving of the Holy Family very interesting. Especially with Saint Joseph sporting a cross necklace.

Madonna and Child

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O virgin of virgins, my Mother; to you I come; before you I stand, sinful and; sorrowful. 

 O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me. Amen.

House Of Prayer


Isaiah 56:7
I will bring them into my holy mount, and will make them joyful in my house of prayer: their holocausts, and their victims shall please me upon my altar: for my house shall be called the house of prayer, for all nations.

St. Louis - Postcard Black & White Series


St. Louis Catholic Church of North Star is one of the few churches that differs from the Roman Gothic style you find in most of the Catholic Churches in the area. This is also the first of the New Post Card Series to be published. The scheduled post for this new series is the First of Every Month.
