The One Piece of Jewelry I Wear Every Day

THIS IS CATHOLIC COURAGE: Adding some Wedding Theology for every soul into the Tridentine documentary's first video chapter to enter into production, Chapter 3, "Sacrificial Sacrament." 
 Pictured above: the one piece of jewelry I wear every day, 
given to me in the year 1999 by our Savior, 
the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. +
The ring, signifying eternal fidelity, 
has made it into many of the photographs at Joseph Karl Publishing
for every soul.
 My personal favorites are the images of Christ crucified on the Cross
crowned not with thorns but with the ring containing 11 diamonds
that He gave me.
 
That ring is a perfect fit on His Sacred Head
on every crucifix that I own. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Above: I was cut by the forces of darkness 
during this photo shoot outside years ago,
and so my own shed blood was used to enhance the imagery
of what loving us willingly cost our Lord.

The forces of darkness, sore losers,
went on to break that crucifix in half.
Our Lord proposes to each one of us every day.

The first time He did so to me, 
I asked Him (while tired and in pain) if He had just propositioned me,
and the Divine Bridegroom of Every Soul softly and gently replied, 
"I proposed."
 
Above: another personal favorite.
Above: the ring, along with the mother's ring
representing my three precious young adult children 
that was given to me by my daughter several years ago.


Above: the ring can be found on the tip of the lance.

Above: where can the ring be found in this one?
 The high school class ring with February's royal purple birthstone
(the Month of the Sacred Passion of Jesus)
has a writing quill on the side along with the word "TRUTH". 
 
My plan was to study journalism in college 
and then go out and work in and for the world,
but our Lord sent me instead to study human behavior and the human mind
and eventually had me write for Him, for every soul.
 
The Ph.D. in Educational Psychology
earned at Wayne State University in Detroit in the mid 1990s
was unjustly withheld from me,
thievery inspired by the forces of darkness 
who specialize in envy and hatred for Catholicism.
 
However, Jesus requires no such credentials from His people
and repays us with Himself.
 
What wonders!




Many St. Benedict crucifixes such as the one above
have been destroyed through the years
by the forces of darkness.
 
Sore losers! 
 
 They like to break things, but Jesus likes to fix things.
 
 
The above image is another favorite,
taken in the snow.




The diamonds represent precious, priceless, and immortal souls.
