St. Francis de Sales (1567-1622) was a French man who became the the Roman Catholic Bishop of Calvinist Geneva. He believed that holiness was possible for ordinary people in the world and taught a form of meditation which made use of the imagination. He recommended reading bible passages, envisioning them, and using the intellect to find applications to the present day. I find his teachings very applicable, as I often respond to the Bible through my art and writings. I chose three of his quotes to accompany my work this week.

Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit.
Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever,
even if your whole world seems upset.
May you find love, courage and peace through your artwork.
