“And life is eternal; and love is immortal
And death is only a horizon,
And a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight
Lift us up. O God, that we may see further;
Cleanse our eyes that we may se more clearly;
Draw us closer to thyself
That we may know ourselves nearer
To our beloved who are with thee.”

A Special inclusion offered by our Director

“The Kitchen Prayer”

This lovely prayer is seen in many places with a variety of attributions; the true origin is unknown. I first saw it in a newspaper print, cut out and framed in my mother-in-law’s kitchen 50 years ago.

I have used this print several times and ornamented the L of Lord and the A of Amen in the style of Mediaeval illumination with paints and colored pencils or small pressed flowers with beautiful results.

The print is 10” x 13”. It is printed in black ink on an elegant white sheet of 80# cover stock. The paper is easy to handle if you wish to add some of your own artwork. Click here for a larger view.
