St Ninian a Celt born in southern Scotland, around 360, died circa 430 Bishop of Galloway

                                                            Psalm 69:7

             

              Let 

              not 

          those 

            who 

           hope 

                in 

              you 

                be 

               put 

                 to 

          shame 

   through me, 

   Lord God of hosts,

       let not those who seek 

           you be disgraced because of me… 

This was one of those day that I got my verse, but no image to go with it, so I read on, and there was Queen Vashti telling the drunken King to go stick it (my translation) and that spoke of living in the Truth without counting the cost. (You couldn’t let that happen She was demoted… I thought he’d have her killed - bad example, bad precedent ) I finished Morning Prayer and came in to find an image. After wandering happily through frescoes (I love the Internet!) this one whispered to me “You are the Face of Christ to the world, he image of Christ in the world; don’t distort it or mess it up, don’t let it be defaced or destroyed by time. don’t shame or disgrace me by your conduct, Let the world see the Father shining through who you are what you do, that the world may know me when we meet.”
