Blessed Virgin Mary

Mark Sanislo — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 09:28:49 GMT

"Our Mother of the Word" - The Blessed Virgin Mary was used for a book cover Book Title is: "Messages from the Heart of Our Mother" written by Fr. Robert J. Fox Author Fr. Robert J. Fox has compiled these messages and offers in the Chapters 1-3, discernment and placing private revelation in it's proper perspective. While there are many reports of Marian messages, and messengers, we must be cautious to discern their authenticity. The messages must be in harmony with Sacred Scripture and the magisterial teachings of the Catholic Church. They must lead one to the Blessed Trinity, to Jesus, the Church. It is the opinion Fr. Fox who believes these messages recorded by Little Mary fulfill those requirements.

Fatima Is Forever

Mark Sanislo — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 09:21:54 GMT

FATIMA IS FOREVER Painting was used for a book cover written by Fr. Robert J. Fox In the book, I tell how Fatima has colored my priesthood. In Fatima Is Forever, I tell the effect the two friends, Pope John Paul II and Sr. Lucia, have had on my life when I learned of their deaths. These two friends touched the lives of millions. The cover of a new book is always a challenge. I described to professional artist, Mark Sanislo, what I wanted the cover to convey. Thus the cover is of Our Lady of Fatima, with her Immaculate Heart, wearing a white and gold mantle as she swoops down to earth from heaven to take the two friends to heaven, form Paul II and Sr. Lucia are upon the earth seen from outer space. The Pope raises the Eucharistic Christ aloft since Fatima is centered on ]esus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Sr.Lucia falls to her knees adoring our Eucharistic Lord for her life was one of prayer and sacrifice. Our Blessed Mother, the "beautiful Lady from heaven," throws her golden mantle over these two friends to carry them off to heaven. That book cover was used also for the cover of this issue of the Messenger. With the death of Sr. Lucia on February 13, 2005, and the resulting increased explosive interest in Fatima throughout the world, followed soon by the death of Pope John Paul II, the special Fatima Pope, need was seen for still another book on Fatima by the priest who was first called "the Fatima priest." There was a special spiritual bond between Sr. Lucia and Pope John Paul II. With many Fatima developments and fulfillments of prophecies in recent years many need this latest book on Fatima. This time the book on Fatima is titled, Fatima Is Forever. Fatima Forever will cover Fatima from the beginning, its developments through the years, its effects on the world today and for the future; the consecration by bishops requested by Our Lady, the release of the Third Part of the Fatima Secret and the beatifications of Blessed Jacinta and blessed Francisco; the spiritual bonding between Sr. Lucia and Pope John Paul II. Also included in this book are world reactions to the deaths of Sr. Lucia and Pope John Paul II. Sr. Lucia's permanent resting place near Blessed Jacinta and Blessed Francisco after the transferal of her body, February 19, 2006, from Coimbra Carmel to Fatima Basilica is included. The book summarizes the biography by Sr. Lucia's own Carmelites as required by their Carmelite Constitution for a deceased Sister.

A Priest is a Priest Forever

Mark Sanislo — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 09:19:30 GMT

"A Priest is a Priest Forever" was used for a book cover written by Fr. Robert J. Fox - it is his autobiography - 50 years in Christ's Holy Priesthood. It will inspire young men to consider the priesthood and parents to encourage their sons to consider a priestly vocation. The profound meaning of the Holy Eucharist as Sacrifice and Sacrament, with strong scriptural basis, is presented. The faithful who read this book prayerfully will come to a deeper faith understanding of the Holy Eucharist and the Priesthood, of the Church itself. It is seldom we can read the story of the life of a priest for 50 years and in true story form gain at the same time a much deeper understanding of the mysteries of our Catholic faith. Fr. Robert J. Fox has accomplished this feat while giving a true account of his life from childhood, to seminary life and through 50 years of the holy priesthood. After reading this autobiography you will want to present copies to priests and seminarians.

Mother Angelica "Nun of the Media"

Mark Sanislo — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 14:53:21 GMT

In 1981 a cloistered nun named Mother Angelica, using merely entrepreneurial instincts and a steadfast faith in God created what would become the world's largest religious media empire in the garage of a her monastery located in the hills of Birmingham, AL. The Eternal Television Network grew at a staggering pace, both in people tuning in and in sharing the message of God, to where it now reaches over a hundred million viewers in hundreds of countries around the globe. This portrait "Nun of the Media" tries to capture the story of this extraordinary nun, Mother Angelica, who is known and loved by the many that tune into "Mother Angelica Live" on the EWTN Network. The portrait also manifests the power of prayer which comes from the Poor Clare Nuns of Perpetual Adoration who have backed up Mother's global media work. Mother herself is seen at the switchboard of Eternal Word Television Network with her Rosary in hand. The painting also encompasses the satellite dishes and shortwave radio towers of EWTN that make it Global Catholic Network. Behind the nuns, in the center of the piazza stands the The Monument of the Divine Child Jesus (El Divino Niño). It Serves as a symbol of the eager love of our God, the Child Jesus offers His Heart to all who approach Him, "Prophecy of Isaiah (11:6): ". and a little Child shall lead them" Behind El Divino Niño is the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, a Temple consecrated to Almighty God, open to people of all faiths. Visitors often remark that this Temple is "a true oasis of silence and peace." Mother Angelica explains that "when you come into the Temple you are in the Presence of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." She prays that each person who enters will be aware of this great and wonderful reality This reproduction is from an original oil painting by Catholic Artist Mark Sanislo of Minneapolis Minnesota. The original oil painting can be seen by the public, down in Hanceville, AL at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament.

An Icon Union of East and West in Christ

Mark Sanislo — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 06:41:26 GMT

During the time Mark and his wife were awaiting the birth of their sixth child who arrived in July 2002, Mark wrote the Icon UNION OF EAST AND WEST IN JESUS CHRIST. It would be a major beginning of moving his artistic talent more in line with evangelization. An artist does not paint an icon, he writes an icon. Icons carry special religious messages to be read.
