"O Father, light up the small duties of this day's life: May they shine with the beauty of Your countenance. May we believe that glory can dwell in the most common task of every day."

Blessed Augustine of Hippo

observing















Often, I struggle in searching for precise words describing the many impressionable emotions swirling inside my mind, heart and soul. Here, are my wanna-be-amateur- photo-taking-skills; hopefully capturing the essence of holy observations. There is a wealth of incredible beauty that surrounds us...especially that of The Church. There is a natural-growing, transfigured, yet not suppressed, beauty while observing my children's child-like readiness as all their senses awaken when they "come and see that the Lord is good".
Praying that all had a blessed Feast in celebrating The Annunciation of the Most -Holy Theotokos. Hopefully, this respite from the Great Fast was nourishment to weary souls in continuing the good and Holy Fight...Blessed Lent!

It's hard to take photos during the service, to be respectful, yet capture what you love about it...you did a great job!

Your pictures are lovely. I love sharing the beauty of my faith on my blog too, but also struggle with my limited abilities. We have several serious photo-hobbiest at our parish (including our priest) and I often feel embarrassed to be snapping pictures with my little dinky camera.

I hope you are able to do more.

What beautiful, inspiring photos. On a day when I'd like to be in church, but can't be... you brought me a gift. Thank you.
