Alone
with Jesus in Sacred Heart Catholic Church
I
am attending a Catholic Church almost every day this week. The peace and quiet that I find there is
amazing to say the least.
It
has been a while since I spent a whole day in church – let alone a number of
days in a row…in church. But this week it is happening in a big way. Kind of a
revival of sorts…
And
the best part is that I am all alone with Jesus. Go figure that is where Jesus is… in church
and alone with me.
Now
before my Pentecostal Friends go ape with my news of my attending a Catholic
Church now… and that I have been experiencing a ‘revival’ in a Catholic Church…
I should explain the great joy that I am encountering through this week.
I
am an artist and a craftsman. I do many things and have abilities that are
unique. It is because of these abilities
and a willingness on my part to do a special task… plus the amazing trust the
Pastor and Congregation of the Sacred Heart Church on Romaine and Aylmer
streets – have placed in me. I am taking
some time to be alone with Jesus.
This
Jesus is very old. He was placed in this
church around 1900 or so from what I gathered… at least that is when the Sacred
Heart Church was built. And with the age
he has gone through some changes for sure.
At
first he was bright and brilliant with all his colours showing well. But with
time the colours chipped and faded and the grime on his clothing had changed
the look and the way that he looked.
Alright,
alright… you have guessed that this is a statue of Jesus… not Jesus
himself. And this statue is in need of
some help.
A
few years ago when the church was renovated they redid everything – including Jesus.
Jesus is now white – completely white. He used to have beautiful colours of all
sorts… but now he is white. After the renovations were complete a decision to
paint Jesus all white was made by someone – and the congregation was aghast.
Well
this week Jesus is changing colours again. I am painting Jesus back to his
original colours.
It
has been an exciting journey to say the least. Planning, talking, listening and
then alone with Jesus this week.
I
am saving the photos that I have been taking along the journey… to present the
final set of photos when it is all done.
Gotta
run… now… Jesus is waiting on me.
