"She lived in solitude,
and now in solitude
has built her nest;
and in solitude,
He guides her...
He alone,
who also bears
in solitude,
the wound
of love."
St. John of The Cross
"I will now allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak tenderly to her." --Hosea 2:14

Self Portrait...
Painting by Jean Alphonse Roehn
"Every choice I make is a brushstroke that I paint on the portrait of my soul." Taken from 'The Ascent of Mount Carmel, St. John of the Cross, Reflections' by Marc Foley, O.C.D.
Hi, Donna I like to put things on my blog that *I* need to remember and learn from. I'm so glad that these words touched your own soul as well! Hope all is well with you and your family! I miss keeping up with you on FB but, I needed a break. Love and miss you!
I too needed that break from Facebook. Don't know if I will go back after Lent. But I do miss seeing you. Grateful for this blog filled with your lovely thoughts and sweet moments with The Lord.

Thank you Lindy. Needed to ponder both of these.... in so many ways. The voice of God to me. Thank you.
Will be using them in our Lenten study.
Think of you often.
Peace.
