SACRED ART / by Joe Castorino

Inspired by St. Francis of Assisi & St. John Paul II

Our Heavenly Father is the

Divine Artist, who paints

On the canvas of our souls, 

When we surrender to Him,

He very gently and delicately dips

The brush of the Spirit into 

The palette of the virtues,

And He colors our lives with Love;

God is beauty, and when we

Smudge our painting with the

Charcoal pencils of our sins,

He covers our faults with

His beauty – if we’re patient,

He refines and perfects us,

Making us a masterpiece.
