Madonna of Light:

The moon appeared blue as the "Madonna of Light...


Her very presence rested on the world...


In Faith she conceived, The Light of the World...


In Hope She brought forth The WORD!


In Love, She nourishes the very Universe from Her breast.

(Me. 2010).

What is Love:

Even if Adam had never sinned, Christ would have become man to love His Father in the most complete and perfect manner (John Duns Scotus).

All in a days work

Thank you Joe for feeding us!

Total dedication to the job! No time for dressing up and an evening spent in a posh restaurant. However, a lovely meal, fantastic team spirit all between calls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its that time of the year again!

This year has been very challenging on the district. I believe, we have a lot more to come but thank the Lord we have no broken bones, as yet!

The Lord Himself shall give you a sign:

Behold a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son,

and shall call His name Immanuel.

Butter and honey shall He eat, that

he may know no evil, and choose the good.

(Isaiah.7.v.14-15)

I may not know the answers'

but can finally say I'm free,

if the questions led me here

then I'm who I was born to be!

"I AM"

I AM the light of the world, he who follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life

Psalm 1

...He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season: his leaf also shall not wither: and whatever he doeth shall prosper...

Thou are my refuge and portion

When my spirit was over-whelmed within me, then thou knewest my path...(psalm 142).

The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of their troubles

Thank you for providing a resting place of quiet solitude Lord, where you speak to hearts' that are tired from the struggles of this life. We have been fashioned for you alone please draw closer still. You alone are our total strength!

Be it unto to me according to thy Word

We cannot help but consider the fullness of the Rose you hold to your tender heart, and the piercing thorns that you gently shield from us.
We consider the enormous suffering that ripped through your heart by accepting Gods request to become the new Eve!
Indeed your heart was pierced with that sword as you made the journey from nurturing Our Lord in your womb, through to His betrail from mankind on the blessed cross.
We shall hold onto the promise of the glories Resurrection, as you must have done, to make sense of all.
O Blessed Mother how gentle and pure your heart must be to have born such suffering, more than any one of us could ever comprehend, for your Son and Your Lord!

NOW i occupy my soul

and all my energy in His service;

I no longer tend the herd,

Nor have I any other work

Now that my every act is love ( S.J.C).

Lord guide the car!

This was a picture I just had to take when traveling.
I just cannot help see the artistry of the Lord in all things.
With such sights provoking the heart to rise straight to Heaven,
I cannot imagine what state we shall be in when we see His face!

All generations will call me blessed; the Lord has looked with favor on his lowly servant.







Jesus seeing His mother and the disciple standing there by; whom He loved, He saith unto His mother, "Woman, behold thy son!"Then saith to the disciple, "Behold your Mother"!And from that hour the disciple took her unto his own home ( John 19.v 26-27).

The fulfilment of Gods right hand

There are many ways Our Heavenly Father speaks to the mind and heart that has been fashioned by His hand, but none more directly than through his Word. It continually draws us by the moving of the Holy Spirit which is God, gently whispering in the heart and mind of our understanding. Nature is Gods artistry for our feeding, pleasure and cultivation; Everything shouts His praises from the smallest blade of grass to the mighty rainbow that arches across the earth!
My personal understanding of our very being comes in two parts taken from Genesis 4.v22 and Reveltions 22.v.13. It is no accident that this is the beginning of the Word and End. Our Lord there tells us, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last" (Rev 22.v.13).
Genesis 4.v.22, ,"The Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever..." ( that tree of life is our very Lord Himself who hung upon the cross as a pure gift for every man that would put his hand forward to embrace Salvation).
Revelations.22.v.13, "A am the Alpha and Omega the beginning and the end, the first and the last... Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city" (The city being the new Jerusalem, Heaven).
I have heard it said that God is not the author of confusion, and i have come to understand,not through anything of myself, but the gentleness of the Holy Spirit leading me, that the more we desire to draw near Him, the smaller we are to become. Yes entering that very stage of infants (1) again is a complete re-fashioning to allow our hearts to fly like eagles & become mighty Cedars, total liberation! By this, Holy Scripture becomes so transparent that we stand in astonishment that we could have so easily missed this mighty truth; But take heart little one, the good God was always going to draw us, and fashioned our heart to Him alone. This He did before time itself to be His true sons, Sons of God!

Veni Creator Spiritus

Almighty, all powerful,most tender loving God

Creator of Heaven & Earth of all living beings.

We your creation praise your name,we bow low our little hearts in adoration of love to you.

We petition to you, through you, by the power of the Holy Spirit which is you; draw us ever deeper into your unfathomable love.Hear the prayers of a little soul who makes petition on behalf of all you have called and have yet to call, Veni Creator Spiritus.

Foxes have holes and swallows have nests but the son of man has no place

Well it does not happen often, but I'm lost!

My little boat appears to have no apparent direction, although its compass is set to you Lord.

I directed the rudder to the little islands, trimmed the sails and even enjoyed the power of the spinnaker being fully inflated running before the wind! I thought I was going where you wanted Lord, but now I'm confused! Yes, but in this confusion there is great peace, therefore I know you love surrounds me and in your time all will become clear.

I have stood on your Word Lord and yes there is great need but, 'Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven'.

You sent your disciples out two by two, why am i sailing my little boat alone?

Please prepare a place and people for me! If not strengthen me for this voyage. Thy Will be done!

Ezekiel 36:24-28

'I will take you away from among the nations,
gather you from all the foreign lands,
and bring you back to your own lands.

I will sprinkle clean water upon you
to cleanse you from all your impurities,
and from all your idols I will cleanse you.

I will give a new heart
and place a new spirit within you,
taking from your bodies your stony hearts
and giving you natural hearts.

I will put my spirit within you,
and make you live by my statutes,
careful to observe my decrees.
You shall live in the land I gave your fathers;
you shall be my people,
and I will be your God'.

The garden party in the rain!

Special time is all about being together even on such a day as this when the rain came down more than the sun came out!
However, it made no difference as it was enjoyed by all.

Traits of the solitary song bird

It seeks the highest place;
It withstands less company;
It holds its beak to the air;
It has no definate color;
It sings sweetly!
To rise above passing things, paying no more heed to them than if they should not exist.
To be found in silence and solitude that it could less tolerate the company of another creature.
To hold ones beak to the air of the Holy Spirit, responding to His inspiration, that by so doing it may become worthy of His company. To have no definate color, desiring to do nothing definate other than the will of God; Singing sweetly in contemplation and love of its Spouse...This is this little song birds total desire!

The songs of angels!

I have a habit, that if I am inspired I feel compelled to capture it on my little camera, lest I should forget. Well for once I decided not to!
My time spent at the Poor Clare Colettine monastery was so private and special, I decided this picture was to remain at the gate and the rest in my heart.
Thank you mother and all you dear sisters' for allowing our dear Lord the time & space to whisper to my heart.

Our degree of Faith! 13/7/09 2.30p.m

This degree is one of pure FAITH!
I have no natural ability, in fact it has been said, that I make other peoples heads' hurt because I am soooooooooooo simple.
That, I regard a compliment to the Lords hard work within me!
This degree was the most challenging of things but one that was undertaken because after much prayer & listening to the whispers of our Lord: He inspired in my heart a journey that would be one made in love and courage to follow Him even when I had no strength of self to do so.
Our journey to the Lord is seldom one taken alone, and I was given the loving support of our little team in Heaven and on earth.
Thank you for being there through all the tears & messages of, 'I cannot do this anymore' & the replies of, 'O yes you can!'.
Today is all about praising Jesus for His endless gifts of love and enjoying the fruits of our labours' as a heavenly team! Love you all from the bottom of this very simple little heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lifetime of being held in the palm of His hand

It has never failed to amaze me how there can be so many divisions in following the Lord, and everyone claiming to be on the right road.
I read recently, a paper from Pope Benedict XVl that our Lord would have not divided the truth as man continues to do. He embraced all people, religions and found a way, the way of love not theory to our Heavenly Father.
There is only one Father, Son, Holy Spirit, they are ONE the Holy Trinity, no division. This we can be sure of because Jesus has told us so. He is the voice of God made flesh.
It is a disgrace to call ourselves Christians if we cannot tolerate and love our neighbours efforts to draw closer to the truth. We are only true disciples when our hearts are made new. Understanding the heart of Jesus comes from being transformed by love of Jesus; Faith is not a theory an opinion about God and the world. It is the result of the love of God on each individual heart.
'In my Fathers house are many mansions: If it were not so I would have told you...'( John 14. v.2). I understand this to mean the heart of our Lord is all embracing and tolerant of individuals efforts. If it were not so He would have told us.
Therefore, in my simple mind & heart, I believe we should let go of prejudice to our neighbour and Love for loves sake alone launching into the unknown. Don't rely on seeing two sure steps ahead because the Lord provides only one and sometimes none, in order that we shall rest on His abilities alone. Be at peace with only the one step!
Less time should be spent dividing the truth into personal interpretation because this is the work of the devil who causes division, therefore confusion and from there little respect and love.

The picture of the Blessed Virgin Mary has taken centre place in my home for as long as I can remember.

She has never failed to hear my petitions and take them straight to heaven as soon as they were uttered.

Our Lady has never put herself before our Lord, but as the gentle vessel that carried the saviour of our world, the new Eve!

Mother you said yes to God and your yes remained, no matter what suffering was involved.

Please help us always to say yes with the same quiet, sure confidence.

A carrier of God's love, the love of an infinite thirsty God.

'God is calling me-uworthy and sinful that I am.

I am longing to give all for souls.

They will think me mad...to begin a thing which will bring me for the most part only suffering...but He calls me also to join the few to start the work; to fight the devil and deprive him of the thousand little souls which he is destroying every day...' (Mother).

Lighting the light of those in darkness

'We must keep Him continually in our hearts and minds...

Becoming a bridge between people and our Heavenly Father...

Bringing all to God's salvation'...(Mother Teresa).

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet & a light unto my path

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
When I feel afraid and lose my way, still I know your right beside me.
Nothing will I fear for as long as you are near, I will not forget your love for me and yet my heart is ever wondering.

Jesus be my guide, remain always at my side and i will love you till the end, through thy Word which is my light and love everlasting.

The little way

What a sweet joy to think that our Lord is so just to take into account our weakness and knows so well the frailty of our nature. What then need I fear...Now I have no further desire unless it be to love Jesus even unto folly! Love alone draws me (St Therese De Lisieux).

Why speakest thou to them in parables?

'It has been given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven... The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took: and sowed in His field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof... ( St Matthew.13 v.31). Those that have ears will hear and those who have eyes opened by the Lord will See.

Be still and know that i am with you

A lifetime of looking for my Jesus!

This is my spot! from whence i have grown older. Ever since i was a young girl, I have come to sit at my Jesus feet and listen to His whispers.

I AM the rose of Shar-on, and the lily of the valleys

This is the rose of Shar-on.

I would like to thank all those who remembered me in their prayers and sent messages to me on my birthday. Thank You All!

Holy holes!

"When a soul advances in darkness it gains no profit, it receives some betterment. It usually does so in a manner it least understands, thus thinks its getting lost.

Since it never possessed this new experience which makes it go out, blinds it and leads it astray with respect to its first method of procedure. It thinks its lost rather than advancing. Indeed it is getting lost to what it knew, tasted and giving way to that which it neither tastes nor knows..."(St John of the Cross).

Be still thy soul, cleave to thy God

'The small white dove has returned to the ark with an olive branch, and now the turtledove has found its longed for mate by the green river bank...' ( St John of the Cross).
