Portraits of a Priest

Portraits of a Priest July 7, 2011



The minds of kids are truly something amazing. Their pictures show us how their little minds see and process the world. A little girl drew the picture above of the two of us a few months ago while I was visiting the family home, I love how she drew my glasses and gave me a big cross with a heart on my shirt! Below is a picture by another little girl of me celebrating Mass. She drew it while I drank hot chocolate with her family at the Walk through Bethlehem at Shirley Hills Baptist Church in Warner Robins. I’m standing behind the altar and my hands are stretched out towards two chalices. You can see another chalice to the left and what looks like a loaf of bread on the right.

This last one was drawn by a student at the parish school. After speaking to the 2nd grade one day, she came up to me and said, “Father, I drew a picture of you.” I asked her if I could keep the drawing and she said yes. I’ve been told by a few people this one really does look like me! You be the judge.
