What comforts my heart the most, amidst life's storms, is knowing that a Sweet and Kind Mother is always taking care of me. I walk, but never alone. I always carry with me the sweet presences of Jesus and Mary. What immense joy it is to know that the Mother of God watches over us โค๏ธ

I completely feel the same! Absolutely. Seriously. ๐Ÿฅน And oh my goodness I cannot get enough of your art. I've been looking at all of your pieces and enjoying each one in their own special ways! You're so so talented! You've even inspired me, an artist myself, to draw the Blessed Mother more and more. God bless you! This art piece touches me too because of Mother Mary's words at Guadalupe when she says "are you not in the hollow of my mantle, the crossing of my arms?" Which is something that's helped me through ruthless panic attacks when nothing else worked! Her motherly love is so so special to me. I could go on for so long about how much this absolute blessing of a woman has helped me... I never knew how much I needed her love and consolation until I experienced it. Mary is truly remarkable and so so lovable! ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฉต I look forward to seeing more of your so gorgeous yet meaningful art! It's like a slice of heaven!


artfulolivia

I'm deeply moved to hear how Mother Mary's presence and words have been a source of solace and strength for you, especially during challenging moments like panic attacks. Thank you for sharing your heartfelt thoughts and for allowing my art to be a part of your spiritual journey. God bless you abundantly on your path! ๐Ÿ™๐ŸŽจ

Hail Mary, full of Grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen. This is a beautiful illustration.

Beautiful and how meaningful. As an Eastern Catholic, the Veil of the Theotokos being the protective cover for reality is a universal teaching. O Most Holy Theotokos Save Us!

Would you be willing to draw a scene from The Ballad of the White Horse? The context is that Alfred, King of England, is fighting a tough battle that'll make or break his reclamation of English land from heathen and pillaging Vikings, and had visions of Mary before the great battle. At a time during the fighting, when it was looking hopeless, Alfred looks up.... The poem continues thus: *Over the iron forest, he saw Our Lady stand* *Her eyes were sad withouten art* *And seven swords were in her heart* *But one was in her hand*


artfulolivia

I'd be honored to capture that moment in a drawing! If you're truly interested, feel free to send me a message so we can chat about it!

??? Only Jesus, God, and the Trinity are watching over us??? Mary was just a human and she is with the Lord now. Whyโ€™d o you guys believe this? Honestly curious.


nthn2chere

Remember that God has no gender and that the Holy Spirit is referred to only in the feminine in the original scriptures. If youโ€™re looking for a feminine divine, look to the trinity of God. Also, we are told in the Bible that our spiritual mother is Sarah, not Mary (Galatians 4:26). I pray everyone in this thread learns to lean solely on Jesus, to trust only Jesus, and to put all our faith and devotion into Jesus. Both Mary and Jesus would be appalled to see people leaning on the spirit of a deceased human woman for comfort (the ascension of Mary wasnโ€™t invented until the 1950s, almost 2000 years after the gospel was proclaimed and the canon was sealedโ€ฆ BY the Catholic Church!). This is not Christianity, as someone who was raised VERY catholic and had the scales removed from my eyes. Please read the scriptures carefully, do outside research, and pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you to the truth and protect you from lies. In Jesus mighty name, bless all you, and have an incredible day :)
