One of the weaknesses of much abstract painting is the attempt to substitute the inventions of the intellect for a pristine imaginative conception. The inner life of a human being is a vast and varied realm and does not concern itself alone with stimulating arrangements of color, form and design. The term 'life' as used in art is something not to be held in contempt, for it applies all of its existence, and the province of art is to react to it and not to shun it. Painting will have to deal more fully and less obliquely with life and nature's phenomena before it can again be great.

Don't overly concern yourself with the demon of fear that has been unleashed. Jesus Said “Fear not “ if We Trust in Jesus…follow his teachings and pray. Satan should tremble. Psalm 23:4, Luke 12:25, Romans 8:38-39, Matthew 10:28. We need not fear Jesus with his unfathomable divine mercy. That He so much would love to give all of us.
See in Luke 21 this is on the way some day. Is it now, I don’t know? But God could call us at anytime. We should be ready and packed for the journey. We are not promised tomorrow. Consider going to reconciliation John 20:21-23, Acts 3:19, Psalm 46:1-3. It’s a wise decision to be in the state of Grace then satan can not temped us so easily. Make an act of contrition until you can get to a confession. Consecrate yourself to the Immaculate Heart of Jesus and Mary. Pray the Rosary and chaplets daily. Also if possible do some fasting, make sacrifices, attempt to change your life. Get to mass and receive the Holy Eucharistic. In case God dose call sooner then we think. I have read many of the saints went to confession monthly or even weekly.
Luke 21: 36 Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.
Well I think if we really do repent and do a true reconciliation / confession. We will do well with standing before Jesus. I would think. I know I have been in many tribulations and some I did poorly and some I did well. But I try to get to reconciliation often. I think now with all that is happening lately. I need to up the times I go to keep my spiritual strength up. I can’t do it at all with out Jesus help. I hope I gave some people some things to think about. +JMJ+
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name: Thy kingdom come: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell, and lead all souls to Heaven, especially those in most need of Your Mercy. Amen.
Confession / Reconciliation
Mark 2:5 - Jesus forgives sins John 20:21 - Jesus says: "As I have been sent so I send you"
2 Corinthians 5:18 - Christ gave us the ministry of reconciliation John 20:23 - If you (the apostles and their successors) forgive the sins of any they are forgiven John 20:23 - If you (the apostles and their successors) retain the sins of any they are retained Romans 2:4 - "Do you not know that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?" Acts 3:19 - Repentance needed for forgiveness Matthew 6:15 - Believers may not retain the sins of anyone. Also see: (James 5:16),(2 cor 5:18,20), (Numbers 5:6-7), (Proverbs 28:13), (Luke 23:43),(2 Chronicles 6:24),(Psalm 32:5). (James 5:16).
Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist
Exodus 12:8, 46, Leviticus 6:17-19 - Under the Old Covenant the sacrificial lamb was eaten 1 Corinthians 5:7 - Jesus is the sacrificial lamb of the New Covenant John 6:53 - Under the New Covenant the sacrificial lamb must also be eaten John 6:35-71 - The Eucharist is promised John 6:35, 48, 51 - Jesus says, "I am the Bread of Life" John 6:51 - 57, Jesus says, "The bread which I give is my flesh" John 6:66 - Jesus disciples took him literally and He didn't correct them Isaiah 9:20 - To symbolically eat ones flesh meant to do harm Isaiah 49:26 - To symbolically eat ones flesh meant to do harm Micah 3:3 - To symbolically eat ones flesh meant to do harm Matthew 26:26-28 - The Eucharist is instituted, "This is my body this is my blood" 1 Corinthians 10:16 - The bread and wine are a participation in the body and blood of Christ 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 - This is my body this is my blood 1 Corinthians 11:27-29 - Receiving unworthily is profaning the body and blood of the Lord
1 Corinthians 1:18
[ Christ the Power and Wisdom of God ] For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
System of coordinates
Every person has a conviction in a certain arrangement and order of things in the world. These convictions form the carcass - a personal core. Convictions define vital aspirations of a human being, the sense of his existence, help to feel well-grounded and finally give sense of commitment. I suppose it is suitable to call it a belief.
A distinctive feature of any belief is hidden in the idea that it doesn't demand the answer to the question 'Why?'. You believe, because you start feeling yourself complete and valuable. You believe, because you feel it is right. In short, you believe, because you believe.
There is no people with convictions. To have no conviction is impossible. It doesn't even matter if a person is a nehilist. He, himself, believes that all moral claims are void of any truth value. And that is again his purest conviction and belief.
The one that considers career to be the greatest value in his life lives in the different system of coordinates compared to the one who believes that family is the most important. Of course, one will try to disagree with me paying my attention to the fact that everything should be in combination: family, career, self-realization, etc., but when we stop becoming so idealistic and transfer ourselves to real life, it becomes obvious that our life is limited to time resources and everyone defines what he finds of the highest importance, defines where his efforts should go, and, in this respect, other aspects become supplementing.
No matter how you slice it, efforts are directed mostly to one goal, other goals are subordinated to the main one.
