Come Holy Spirit, fill my heart with Your holy gifts. Let my weakness be penetrated with Your strength this very day. Assist me in all my trials of life, enlighten me in my ignorance, advise me in my doubts. Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, and pour Your light into my heart, my soul, and my mind. Amen.
Here it is the last day of April and I am just getting around to adding to my blog. One reason is that I've been diligently working on icons, starting some and finishing others. But in all honesty i have to admit that I have been struggling for days to come up with a subject to write about, and keep coming up blank. No inspiration. It's not as easy for me to come up with an idea as I thought it would be. I was taught that we are made in the image and likeness of God. Part of being created in His image and likeness is that we have a creative instinct. I do not imagine that God struggles with creativity, but for sure I do! I hope this dry spell passes, and in the meantime I will offer the struggle for the poor souls in purgatory and end with a prayer to the Holy Spirit:
Come Holy Spirit, fill my heart with Your holy gifts. Let my weakness be penetrated with Your strength this very day. Assist me in all my trials of life, enlighten me in my ignorance, advise me in my doubts. Graciously hear me, O Holy Spirit, and pour Your light into my heart, my soul, and my mind. Amen.

Continue this site...the icons will work on others also. Writing...write about the light of the icon...where is that light in your life, heart, soul ... the experience of the different lights...the roskrysh...your own. I encourage your to continue. The Prosopon School is a gift of God for us all. May you be blessed in your ministry here.
