The Icon of the Divine Heart of God the Father: Apologia and Canon
by Marcelle Bartolo Abela Rating: 0.0

In this book, the background of the revealed, diptych, ecumenical icon of the Divine Heart of God the Father Encompassing All Hearts is presented, together with the related Consecration (Seal) Prayer to the Almighty Father. The icon apologia and canon are elucidated. The ecumenical importance of the icon of the Divine Heart for the universal Church is addressed, together with the basis for the icon in Sacred Scripture and Tradition, as well as its meaning for our present times and eschatological future.

The aims of the icon, history of God the Father in iconography, and pertinent Church Council decrees are explored. The history of the first icon of the Eternal Father in the Catholic Church is given, with evidence of the Divine Paternal Heart, including Scriptural evidence, and the history/revelations of this second icon of the Father in the Catholic Church. A summary theology of the Divine Heart icon is outlined, with relevance to the sacred liturgy, Catholic/Orthodox mysticism, the era of the eighth day and deification of man, the universal call to holiness, and the de-Christianization of our times.

as my soul prospers (poems and shortstories)
as my soul prospers (poems and shortstories)
by Jaye Murphy Rating: 0.0

Plagued by spirits of brokenness, bondage, inner rage, sadness, ostentatious fear, defiance and self indulgence; these are all emotional displays of my life that have kept me in bondage. Take this emotionally jolting voyage with me and see the intensity of my openness and willingness to share aspects of my life as I soon begin to walk a walk of humility and translucency while releasing myself to show a myriad of vulnerabilities and imperfections in hopes that my readers find familiar stories that they can relate to and grow from. A growth that ultimately begins and end with the soul. Though initially unaware, it will be found that there is a great disconnect with God and me; now trying desperately to figure out how to give Him complete and utter control of my mind, body and spirit (without taking it back the moment things got rough or better even). Take this journey with me as my soul begins to prosper.
