Devotional images and objects are tangible expressions of love and reverence that help orient our hearts toward God in the rhythm of daily life. Whether through holy images, rosaries, or prayer cards, these aids nurture a personal relationship with Christ and His saints. The Catechism affirms that “the religious sense of the Christian people has always found expression in various forms of piety surrounding the Church’s sacramental life” (CCC 1674). Sacred Scripture reminds us to “pray without ceasing” (1 Thessalonians 5:17), and devotionals serve as gentle prompts to fulfill that call.
Saints like St. Thérèse of Lisieux cherished simple devotions as paths to spiritual intimacy, seeing in them “little ways” to draw near to Jesus. In my art, I seek to create devotional pieces that not only inspire prayer but also become daily encounters with the divine presence.
