O God, You created me for a purpose, a specific task for the Church and humanity. You have always known the work I was cut out for, a work which only I can do and no other. If I do not accept this work, it will never be done. Therefore, I have a job to do. Make clear to me your will, and I will follow you in whatever task this may be. I know I can do all things in you, my strength. Amen.
St. Paul VI once spoke of artists as “those who grasp treasures from the heavenly realm of the spirit and cloth them with words, colors, forms, and textures—making them accessible.” Visio Divina involves using sacred images, art, or nature to nurture the soul and ponder the mysteries of heaven and earth.
