Señor de la Pacencia / The Lord of Humility
Back View
18th Century
Soft wood and polychromy
Lower arm missing.
Attributed to the Panay School
Provenance: Collection of Dr. Porfirio J. and Mrs. Socorro Rodriguez Callo
Purchased from Likhâ Gallery in the late 1970s.
National Museum registration on back.
A small, table-top image of the Senor de la Pacencia made of soft wood with traces of original polychromy. The Christ figure is sitting on a piece of wood naturalistically painted to look like a stump complete with tree bole.
The body color has faded to a pleasing brown color. The savage wounds inflicted on Christ's back is very much evident in the deep grooves incised into the back of the Christ figure. The hair of the patient Christ is carved into thick individual strands typical of sculptures of the 18th century.
“Reverence, humility, contentment, gratitude and hearing the good Dhamma, this is the best good luck” ~ Lord Buddha

As evil continues to expand in a world that rejects God and His Holy Laws, the False Prophet - 'pope' Francis I - continues to pose as a legitimately elected Pope of the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church by advertising his acts of (false)humility.
But do not be deceived, for our precious Catholic Church is headed by the one and only true Holy Vicar of Jesus Christ, POPE BENEDICT XVI, even though the Argentinian self-proclaimed (impostor)Jesuit pope has managed to steal his throne.

I didn't hesitate long, I was back on my feet in less than a minute climbing back up the stairs. Stairs with no rail to speak of, stairs of old wood, stairs with sizable gaps. Ha, ha, I thought to myself, the Mountain has smote me for my ignorance. I shall make a joke at the next stop and everyone shall laugh. I was not perturbed in the slightest, the loss of the stick did hurt me, but I thought to myself, if that's what it takes to appease the Mountain, fine by me.
I did not realize that the mountain was not looking for appeasement from me, but for punishment for me.
Pictured is small well/pool of collected water from a tiny mountain stream. It is blessed pure water, and also nice and cold to drink and wash in. It is also possibly an insult against the mountain to drink from it if you are unclean, but then again, since I thought the Mountain had already taken it's due, I drank from it.
For the Macro Mondays challenge this week, the theme is Humility. This was to take the form of an expression of humbleness.
For this subject, I decided on showing one of my first USB thumb drives, a 128MB stick. Compare it with the 16GB SD card that I use with my camera. [Even that card is 2 years old.] Also note the beat up skin of the device, showing lots of ab/use over the years. It's not pretty, yet it's still functional.
Interestingly, I still use this 128 MB stick. If I have to install drivers, it is so small that there are no compatibility issues with old machines or BIOS. This also makes it convenient to use when going to a photo kiosk to print some pictures. At 128 MB, I can't put too many "important" files on it so there's no hesitation to reformat periodically to wipe all cruft from strange machines.
Taken with the Pentax K10D camera using the smc P-D FA 100mm F2.8 lens. Lighting was with the Pentax AF540FGZ at 1/8 power shooting through a 30'' umbrella at camera left. Also at camera left is the Pentax AF160SA with a Just Blue gel. At camera right is the Sunpak auto 144PC with Birght Red gel. All three were controlled with the Cactus V 5 wireless triggers. See this setup here. No PP, this is the jpg straight from the camera. I tried to match it with LR after the fact but I can't get the smooth reds that are seen on the SD card.
Now we all need patience, forbearance, forgiveness, humility, charity, love unfeigned, devotion to the truth, abhorrence of sin and wickedness, rebellion and disobedience to the requirements of the gospel. These are the qualifications requisite to Latter-day Saints and to becoming Latter-day Saints and members in good standing in the Church of Jesus Christ and heirs of God and joint heirs with Jesus Christ. No member in good standing in the Church will be drunken or riotous or profane or will take advantage of his brother or his neighbor, or will violate the principles of virtue and honor and righteousness. No member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in good standing will ever be chargeable with such offenses as these, because members will avoid these evils, and they will live above them. Then we have a mission in the world: each man, each woman, each child who has grown to understanding or to the years of accountability, ought to be an example to the world. They ought not only to be qualified to preach the truth, to bear testimony of the truth, but ought to live so that the very life they live, the very words they speak, their every action in life will be a sermon to the unwary and to the ignorant, teaching them goodness, purity, uprightness, faith in God and love for the human family.

"It is with great humility that I file my petitions today to be the next Chief Justice of the Ohio Supreme Court,” Brown said. “Ohio families deserve a voice at the helm of the Ohio Supreme Court, and I will be that voice. As Ohio’s next Chief Justice, I will bring to the court a viewpoint that challenges the thinking of the other justices. I will add the balance needed so that the court can truly reflect the hardworking Ohioans it serves. I will also bring to the court a lifetime of experience as a judge, an administrator, a small business owner, and an understanding of how the courts impact the everyday lives of ordinary Ohioans."
...a long lesson in humility. (JM Barrie)
something i just laid-out, for an inspiring quotation i read somewhere.
O God, as a family we kneel in reverence before You in prayer.
We pray The Holy Rosary of The Ever-Blessed Virgin Mother Mary.
We pray to God the Father as Our Creator and Maker –
That God’s Kingdom of Love and Peace may reign in all families.
We pray to Our Lord Jesus Christ Son of God as Our King and Lord –
That we may be compassionate, merciful and just for the Poor and the Needy.
We seek the intercession of Mother Mary as Our Queen and Mother –
That we may learn to be humble, meek and gentle and pure in Heart.
We seek the intercession of Saint Joseph –
That Humanity may be united as a Universal Church of Love and Peace.
We seek the Power of God’s Holy Spirit –
That we may be filled with Holy Virtues of Humility, Love, Peace and Joy.
That glory be to The Holy Trinity!
And glory be to The Holy Family as One God!
Amen.
O God, thank You for blessing us with our mother...when we were a child that suckled on our mother's breasts...that we may be nurtured with breastmilk...but more importantly we have been dependent for our mother's warmth and affection...and Spiritually we still depend on women, especially all of our mothers...that we may be Spiritually nourished with Holy Virtues of Humility, Love, Peace and Justice...for the Spiritual Health of Humanity...
This pocket-size Book of Hours was completed for Use of Rome ca. 1450 and was illuminated under the influence of the artists of the Turin-Milan Hours and the Masters of the Gold Scrolls. There are thirteen extant miniatures (inserted), typological border themes, and drolleries. While the extant miniatures exhibit elegance and technical mastery, the figural decoration in the borders is marked in its contrast. However, the collaborating artists seem to have taken a certain amount of delight in the adjoining drolleries. The book itself has seen heavy use, and its original male owner is depicted with an inscribed scroll in the lower border at the first extant illuminated opening on fol. 17r. His image is possibly conflated with that of Lazarus on fol. 35v, and he can be seen depicted in borders throughout the manuscript. The majority of female saints in the litany suggests Franciscan and Francophile sympathies. The Book of Hours features calendar additions that indicate Spanish ownership in the second half of the fifteenth century, and it was rebound in Spain in the nineteenth century.

The Way of Philosophy according to Christ
"A holy combination: love and humility"
San Massimo the Confessor
The Devil has nothing in hatred as much as the love between brothers and sisters in Christ, harmony, peace, unity and harmony.
He is always vigilant, plotting the most incredible actions, in order to break the spiritual bonds, sow hatred and antipathy, confusion and disorder, vain suspicions and anguished prejudices.
Christ immolated himself "so that the scattered children of God may be brought together as one" in peace and love, while the murderer never rests in his attempt to afflict them and scatter the children of God, who are gathered in Christ .
The following episode is very typical, and shows that it is satanic action that fosters anger, impatience and the breakdown of the bonds of love and peace with our brother:
“A certain brother, moved outraged against another, began to pray, begging [that the Lord help him] to bear his brother, going unharmed through temptation; and immediately he saw smoke coming out of his mouth. At which, his anger ceased. "
* * *
Now, how is it possible to avoid all the pitfalls of the torment-loving enemy? What is the safe antidote?
The Holy Fathers teach us that only with love and humility can we be protected and liberated.
The holy combination of love and humility elevates us spiritually above the pitfalls of evil spirits, and above all above meanness and misunderstandings, which, for the most part, arise from our self-love.
In the same way, this holy combination in the Grace of God, which gives us a peaceful, humble, merciful heart, ready to forgive and tolerant.
"A holy combination is love and humility," says St. John Climacus; "One in fact exalts, and the other, giving strength to those who are exalted, does not allow them to fall."
To be precise, we need to find patience and courage in the hour
of temptation; it is necessary to be long-suffering in prayer before the pains and have a heart ready to forgive those who have grieved us. We try not to be overcome by hatred, but rather to overcome it with love.
A pain is nothing but a cloud that will soon melt ... let's not get away from brotherly love ... Let us be long-suffering and pray ... We blame ourselves ... We humbly accept the apologies of our brother ... We remember his kindness and virtues and not let's move it away from our heart ...

"Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land, who do his just commands; seek righteousness; seek humility; perhaps you may be hidden on the day of the anger of the Lord.
I will leave in your midst a people humble and lowly. They shall seek refuge in the name of the Lord, those who are left in Israel; they shall do no injustice and speak no lies, nor shall there be found in their mouth a deceitful tongue. For they shall graze and lie down, and none shall make them afraid."
– Zephaniah 2:3; 3:12-13, which is the 1st reading for today's Mass (4th Sunday in Ordinary Time).

Humility is not thinking less of yourself. It's thinking of yourself less.

Here is the Lord of Life with His head bowed in death, for He was completely obedient to His Father, showing His Extreme Humility.
Nothing says “I love you” like red roses. Red symbolizes love, beauty, courage, respect, romantic love, and even congratulations. While many send red roses on Valentine's Day, surprise your Valentine this year with white roses that symbolize true love, purity, innocence, reverence, humility, youthfulness, and charm.

All Saints, Bingley, West Yorkshire.
East Window, 1890.
Charity - Purity - Love - Truth - Humility.
Designed by Henry Holiday (1839-1927).
Made by James Powell & Sons.
Annoyingly, partially obscured by the reredos.
Henry George Alexander Holiday entered the Royal Academy Schools at the age of 15 and was soon drawn to the ideas, and the artists, of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. He succeeded Edward Burne-Jones as the chief designer for the stained glass firm James Powell & Sons in 1863 and his style had a long-lasting effect on their production into the 1920s. Some of his windows were made by Lavers & Barraud and Heaton, Butler & Bayne, and after eventually ending his association with Powells, he established his own workshop in 1890. From about 1900 he even made his own glass at the workshop. His later work was made at the Glass House, Fulham.
Henry Holiday also worked as a painter, illustrator and sculptor, and his broad range of interests led to involvement in the campaign for Irish Home Rule, women's suffrage and dress reform.</b
