Child
in Palm of God’s Hand
Mother Teresa herself asked me to create this special drawing of a little child carved in the Palm of God’s Hand. She wanted me to include this beautiful passage from the Old Testament in which God says to each one of us, through the Prophet Isaiah: See! I will not forget you. I have carved you on the palm of My hand. I have called you by your name. You are mine. You are precious to Me. I love you. Isaiah 49:16 Mother Teresa wrote on each of the fingers of God’s Hand: "You did it to Me" to remind us of the Words that Jesus said – "Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, that you do unto Me." I created this image for Mother Teresa in 1986, while I was with her in Calcutta, India. Reprints are available 11"x14" [28cm x 36cm] : |
Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament
I drew this image for Mother Teresa
in 1996. It is a drawing of Our Blessed Mother Mary holding the Sacred
Host within her Immaculate Heart. Within the Host appears Her Divine
Child, Jesus. The whole idea for this drawing (and the caption underneath
it) came from a book titled: The Virgin Mary in the
Writings of Maria Valtorta, by Fr. Gabriel M. Roschini, O.S.M. That
book relates that Our Lady appeared to Maria, an Italian mystic, and said:
I would like someone to draw a picture of Me as I appear to you
now. My Immaculate Heart should shine with heavenly light and contain
the Most Blessed Host, in which the Divine Child is to be pictured. Underneath,
put the inscription: ‘From Mary’s Virginal Blood and Heart, the Supreme
Love-Gift: Jesus-the-Eucharist.’ (Our Lady spoke this to Maria
Valtorta on June 4th, 1953, on the Feast of Corpus Christi). Reprints are available 11"x14"
