John Everett Millais (1829-1926) “Saint Stephen” (1895) Oil on canvas Pre-Raphaelism Located in the National Gallery, London, England
"I desire trust from My creatures. Encourage souls to place great trust in My fathomless mercy. Let the weak, sinful soul have no fear to approach Me, for even if it had more sins than there are grains of sand in the world, all would be drowned in the unmeasurable depths of My mercy."
— St. Faustina Kowalska, p. 1059 of Diary Of St. Faustina

A damaged saint Anthony card I found on a church bench in Kraków.
“Amai a Deus, servi a Deus: nisso é que tudo consiste.”
— Santa Clara de Assis.
If anyone wants to follow me on Instagram, I post my drawings there, I draw mostly saints :D
Hodie XIII Junii... Sancti Antonii Patavii , Sacerdotis ex Ordine Minorum et Confessoris, atque Ecclesiae Doctoris.
Saint Dymphna is the patroness of stress, anxiety and mental illness. Dymphna offers much solace to those suffering from mental illness as well as their family members.
RESPONSÓRIO DE SANTO ANTÓNIO
(Indulgência de 100 dias, plenária no mês)
Se milagres desejais, Recorrei a Santo António; Vereis fugir o demônio
E as tentações infernais.
Recupera-se o perdido, Rompe-se a dura prisão E no auge do furacão Cede o mar embravecido.
Todos os males humanos
Se moderam, se retiram, Digam-no aqueles que o viram, E digam-no os paduanos.
Recupera-se o perdido, Rompe-se a dura prisão E no auge do furacão Cede o mar embravecido.
Pela sua intercessão
Foge a peste, o erro, a morte, O fraco torna-se forte
E torna-se o enfermo são.
Recupera-se o perdido, Rompe-se a dura prisão E no auge do furacão Cede o mar embravecido.
Glória ao Pai, e ao Filho e ao Espírito Santo.
Recupera-se o perdido, Rompe-se a dura prisão E no auge do furacão Cede o mar embravecido.
V: Rogai por nós, bem-aventurado António.
R: Para que sejamos dignos das promessas de Cristo.
Oremos.
Ó Deus, a festividade em honra de S. Antônio, vosso Confessor, alegre a vossa Igreja, a fim de que, fortalecida sempre com os auxílios espirituais mereça gozar as alegrias eternas. Por Cristo nosso Senhor. Amém.

"I learned from experience that joy does not reside in the things about us, but in the very depths of the soul, that one can have it in the gloom of a dungeon as well as in the palace of a king." - St Therese of Lisieux. 🩷
Some pictures I took in a cemetery here in São Paulo.
St Therese of Lisieux, dressed as St Joan of Arc for a play she wrote. How cool is this?!?!
Listen I know consumerism and excessive materiality are bad and the physical trappings of the faith are not essentials or replacements for faith itself but also I am just a girl and my brain goes feral for saint medallions and icons and rosaries and art and relics so really I’m just like if a crow was catholic
Ok but like unironically this is so Thérèse of Lisieux coded
Like the concept of being so small that you lack the ability to move and raise yourself up without falling because you lack the ability to balance and regulate yourself on the way, but nevertheless you keep trying, and you keep moving in your own small way, and God loves you nevertheless as he loves and cherishes all creation, and there is always a small way—an elevator, a way to be lifted up to God—a way that does not require you to be bigger or stronger or more righteous bc you don’t need to be. God loves you all the same.
So there are several species of frogs that have evolved to be so small that their vestibular balance system doesn't work well and I'm sorry but it's the funniest thing to watch them try to jump.
So for all the Catholics out there, who is in "your crew"? Who are the saints you repeatedly turn to? Mine are St. Luke, St. Joseph, the Holy Canadian Martyrs (Jean de Brébeuf and co.), St. Catherine of Alexandria, St. Dymphna, St. Josémaria Escriva, and St. Zita of Lucca. There are occasionally others, but those are the main ones. My favourite Marian apparition is Our Lady of Knock.
And you?
