Beauty is rarely soft or consolatory. Quite the contrary. Genuine beauty is always quite alarming.

Hello, could you do 15, 30 and 36 from the catholic asks please:)

Hi there!

15) Have you ever prayed for St. Anthony's intercession?

All the time! My family often jokes about how he takes our stuff and when we can't find it we go, "Come on Anthony, where'd you put it"

30) Who is your favorite saint?

How dare you ask me to pick a favorite. Anyways it's my Confirmation saint. Funny story about that--when I was in Confirmation class, we had an assignment to pick our saint and give a presentation about them. For the longest time I couldn't choose, and so a couple nights before the deadline, I just picked the saint I was reading about at the time. The book was Set All Afire by Louis de Wohl, and the saint, St. Francis Xavier--patron of foreign missions, specifically in Asia.

Flash forward to the present, and I am fluent in Korean, learning Japanese and Mandarin, and have a deep desire to be a witness to the Catholic faith in South Korea (where I already have lived two times now). Looking back, I find it funny how I just picked him in the spur of the moment, while God had chosen him to be my friend long before that.

36) Do you have a favorite painting of a Bible story?

This one up on my wall! It's of the sinner woman (or St. Mary Magdalene, depending on your tradition) washing Jesus' feet! I absolutely LOVE this painting. Idk if you can see, but tears are running down her face. She was so intent on making up for her sins that Jesus has to lift her chin so she can look at Him. And look how he's holding her! His touch is so gentle and loving. That's what everything is all about--letting God love us and loving Him back. He'll heal our brokenness in time, but first he wants to heal our hearts :')
