Sacred Heart of Mercy Print

There are times when words and images come into my mind and heart, and I can’t rest until I get them out. The image of the Sacred Heart pouring out the divine mercy of Christ kept coming to me in prayer, and after a few stops and starts, this is the final image.

Much of my work these days is done digitally. I sketch and doodle away on my iPad while the kids are playing or resting . . . or sometimes on top of me. This image took me a few days to bring to life in a way that did justice to the image God kept putting on my mind and heart. Trying to decide between backgrounds, whether I should include text since my main squeeze is lettering, how big/how small to make the heart, how bright to make the rays. The vision of the Sacred Heart of Mercy I received was one where Christ"s burning Sacred Heart was bright amid the darkness, with His love and mercy pouring out his wounded heart. I decided to include one of the prayers of the Divine Mercy chaplet (albeit very lightly so as not to distract from the heart) because it honors the image so well. "For the sake of His sorrowful passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."
