" ME IN MY GARDEN" MY PICTURE, ©

Oh LORD, 

Give me the force to withstand the 

Cyclopean waves of human hypocrisy and malice.

Make me strong as to endure the suffering inflicted 

By the knives of hatred and inconsideration which 

Constantly pierce my heart, so as not to seek revenge

But only affection. 

And finally, oh LORD, let your divine love pass

Through my bleeding wounds to heal them in 

Such a degree as in the place where insensitive people

Wanted to plant the malevolent seed of vice, 

Your glorious tree of virtue, to flourish instead.

Amen!

Demetrios you look great my friend. This prayer concerns me. If you are experiencing this malice and hatred that is constantly piercing your heart enduring suffering inflicted by knives of hatred. I pray God gives you peace in your heart and protects you from the evil doers. Gods blessing to you my friend and a armour of protection around your loving heart.

I appreciate your prayers my dearest friend, Michael! Unfortunately, humanity is suffering from hatred and lack of love. If nothing changes so as to bring people closer to God and His holy ways, I am afraid a main catastrophe would occur that will cost enormously to mankind! Keep praying my friend. Do not worry about me, for my faith in Him is unshakable! God bless you for your kindness!
