Sinuoso y vetusto canto,
Beso de nubes y mares
Cálido en tu pulcritud,
Álgido en tu indiferencia.
¡Dulce efluvio pluvial,
Alegre trova de gotas!
Excitada recibe mi alma
Las caricias de cada nota
Caes delicadamente,
Como un susurro en crescendo
¡Llueve ya! ¡El mundo se cubre!
Se despejan los cielos,
Mi corazón se abre
Llueve ya, y el mundo se cubre.
A new tribute painting of Saint Teresa of Calcutta by British expressionist artist Stephen B. Whatley.
Born in Albania, Mother Teresa (1910-1997) answered an early calling to serve God, joining the Sisters of Loreto in Ireland in order to learn English , with the intention of becoming a missionary.
In 1946 on a train she felt she heard from Jesus, "Come be my Light...I cannot go alone" - and devoting her life to helping the poor, the homeless and the dying in India, she became the Mother to the Poor.
When she had taken her religious vows in 1931 she chose the name Teresa after Saint Teresa of Lisieux - and like many, including Saint Teresa of Lisieux , she had experienced throughout her life, a struggle with faith, even feeling separated from God - a darkness that troubled her and maybe drove her on with her good work.
She had opened her first hospice in 1952 and expressed her wish that a "a beautiful death is for people who lived like animals to die like angels - loved and wanted".
She was proclaimed a Saint in 2016 by Pope Francis ; two miracles of healing of cancer in 1998 and 2008 being attributed to her.
The artist - a Catholic convert since 2011 - created the tribute through the intensive research, photographic references and the prayers that generate all his work.
"Through darkness into light...humbly I hope my painting represents the eternal light that will forever be Mother Teresa's reward in heaven - and I pray for peace and any healing for all who view the image, faith or no faith" - Stephen B. Whatley, London, UK, April 2023.
Saint Teresa of Calcutta. 2023
Oil on canvas, 30 x 24in/76 x 61cm
I find today that it is the Feast of The Holy Innocents, perhaps the youngest of martyrs......the day after selecting to pay tribute to the Divine Child Jesus (to whom I began a Novena on Christmas Day) by creating this pastel drawing- humbly I feel lead through prayers...life is full of discoveries & I pray it gives feelings of love and peace.
The image and history of the 20th century devotion originating in Columbia, that along with prayers, inspired it is in the book Illustrated Book of Jesus (William J Hirton & Co, 2011). The original statue portraying Infant Jesus dressed in pink, with arms outstretched to welcome all, dates from the 1940s…..Peace
