Description Breath taking monstrance half-hidden by the edge of the canvas. It reminds me of the glory and majesty of Jesus, true God and true man, but also his perpetual choice to appear to us as a tiny Host, hidden and small, not overpowering our senses so as to force us to believe, but giving us the space and choice to choose to trust and to have faith. The Divine Praises is a prayer prayed after the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in reparation for blasphemy or profanity. It’s especially prayed in the month of January; the month of the Name of Jesus. The prayer is as follows: Blessed be God. Blessed be His Holy Name. Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true Man. Blessed be the Name of Jesus. Blessed be His Most Sacred Heart. Blessed be His Most Precious Blood. Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Blessed be the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete. Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most Holy. Blessed be her Holy and Immaculate Conception. Blessed be her Glorious Assumption. Blessed be the name of Mary, Virgin and Mother. Blessed be St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse. Blessed be God in His Angels and in His Saints. Amen. May the heart of Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament, be praised, adored, and loved with grateful affection, at every moment, in all the tabernacles of the world, even to the end of time. Amen. _______________________ Oil paint is slightly transparent, letting light bounce through thinner layers of paint to the the lower layers. The brush strokes, everywhere they are even slightly raised, catch the light, and change throughout the day as the light changes. The original painting will hold a depth that is not capturable with a print. There’s no replacing what an original piece looks like, and when you love a piece, it’s always worth it to get the original if possible. ________________________ If you do want a print, click here!
