MarysLittleFlower Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 This can be a very personal topic for some people so I'm hoping the thread could remain as non argumentative as possible I realized over time that images of Our Lord really help me to pray. Everyone probably has their favourite ones. Anyone want to share? we can leave the discussions on His skin/hair colour for now we'll know in Heaven. Personally I use the descriptions of Saints etc who've seen Jesus if I meditate. But the most important thing to me is just what He is like, and I hope its ok but sometimes I wonder about that anyone have any thoughts or favourite pictures of Jesus? What types of pictures do you like? There are many different ones out there. No debate thread thanks :D So maybe i'll start here's a picture I like: http://orbis-catholicus.blogspot.ca/2007/04/limpias-crucifix.html?m=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarysLittleFlower Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) General note... if you don't have a picture you're able to share that's totally fine, any thoughts are welcome! Or you can describe an image too Edited September 2, 2015 by MarysLittleFlower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash Wednesday Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Divine Mercy! I'm also partial to this Sacred Heart image because my mother had it by her bedside. So I associate comforting childhood memories with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) I prefer the more modern pictures of Jesus. These are some of my favorites right now (the second one is a joke of course)... Edited September 2, 2015 by nunsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbTherese Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Of those posted by nunsense, I have this one: I like the one with the laptop too - perhaps He uses one in Heaven for communicating with everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archaeology cat Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I love Christ Pantokrator as well. And the Sacred Heart. I was given an icon of the Divine Mercy that I love, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveMariaPurissima Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 This one is one of my favorites. Once when I was in adoration during a retreat, I realized that fear was the biggest thing holding me back in my discernment. Then suddenly this painting came to mind, and I had an experience of prayer in which I had an image of myself as the little girl in the painting. I was so scared that I was shaking (in the image in my mind) and I started crying (in real life). In that moment I knew Jesus' love in a profound, personal way -- I knew that He's holding me and that I'm safe in His arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveMariaPurissima Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I really like this one too -- it's one of my favorite Gospel passages. So often my faith is weak and I give in to temptation and distraction -- but Jesus always, always reaches out His hand to save me from drowning.
