Latest Icon update


Hey Everybody,

I know its been a while, but I thought I'd post a picture of the icon and how its going...

Also, if you were wondering and/or praying for my exams, I wanted to say thank you because I passed all my classes and did very well in many of them. They grade on a scale of 1-20 over here, with 10 being a passing grade and rarely giving scores above 17.

Please continue to pray for me, as Lent will surely be a time of purification to finish the icon by the deadline in April. Speaking of Lent...its almost here! May each of us receive the grace to follow the Lord in the way of the cross during these 40 days. I'll try to update more regularly, especially with a post of pictures of the big icon of the immaculate conception. It was just finished today by our teacher, Fr. Paul, and will be soon blessed and placed in our chapel. It is absolutely stunning.

Until next time...

Wow! The icon looks great, and that is a great photo of you working on it!

Glad to hear you're doing well. You continue to be in my prayers, even though I have no webcam for google video or microphone for skype.. We'll talk eventually. *hugs!* :)
