Art Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes 2/3 February 2015


Art Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes

Nine days of illuminating writing and art.
A novena is a prayer repeated for nine consecutive days.
 This is the second Art Novena
to Our Lady of Lourdes that I am hosting on Cloister of the Heart.
 In this context we are focusing and contemplating
through art, words, poetry and prose on the story of the Lady of Lourdes
and its meaning for us as a society and our life
here on Earth. And very importantly for the emerging changes in ourselves
and the way that we are experiencing and approaching life.

This year the Art Novena is a joint venture between myself
and Mary Beben of  Biodynamic Spirituality
http://www.biodynamicspirituality.com/

We invite you to visit for the nine days and to join in
in any way that you would like - through sharing these thoughts
with others or in your own contemplation or maybe you
would like to put something up on your own blog.
I will add Mr Linky.

blessings
Hettienne and Mary

Art Novena to Our Lady of Lourdes

Divine Mother the Rose
SoulCollage (R) Card by Hettienne

“She is the Queen of spiritual flowers; 
and therefore, is called the Rose,
 for the rose is called of all flowers the most beautiful.
 But, moreover, she is the Mystical or Hidden Rose,
 for mystical means hidden.”

- Cardinal Newman 1808-1890


A blessed 2015 to you. 
May your North Star shine brightly
on every step of your way!


A reminder of the novena for
Our Lady of Lourdes
that will be running from
Monday 2 February to Wednesday 11 February 2015.
I will put up Mr Linky and you are welcome
to join in even if it is only for one day.

So the novena will be starting on
Candlemas AND Bridgid's Feast Day!!!

And this year it is going to be a very special
Art Novena. 
Mary Beben of the website
