I was actually driving in my car and realized one morning that I was afraid of all that was happening in the world, in the entire world…and I had never felt that way before. But what could I do to help the situation, what could any of us do but Hope and Pray for things to change, things to get better. That day I poured my very first Angel of Hope, the Angel that is blessed with a drop of Lourdes Holy Water. By blessed I mean that she is so fortunate to have this precious drop of Lourdes Water compliment her very presence. I knew that I could not change the problems in the world, but I also knew that very moment…. the world needs Hope…. and that is when “The Angel of Hope” was born. My fear was big, it was real, and it was something that consumed my days. I continued to pour my Angel, and add the precious Lourdes Holy Water to each mold and many begin to purchase her. As time went on and more people came for this precious Angel I would hear their stories. You see most of them were living with their own fear every day. Their fear was very real; it was up close and personal. Many of them feared their own being; you see many of them were sick. Some had loved ones or friends that were just trying to survive from day to day. The more I listened to their stories, the more I read about Lourdes and the wonderful miracles made possible because of this precious water from the Grotto in France. Through it all, I’ve learned something very important, We can’t change the world overnight, but when I see…… one person at a time find Hope, the feeling inside of me….. is overwhelming. I will continue to mold this Angel with her drop of Lourdes Water, hand paint her and sell her for a price that All can afford. Do I make money from this Angel…no I don’t, but when I see how much she is loved and how she helps those in need...it is the most rewarding feeling I’ve ever known. The Angel of Hope sells for $15 and she comes with a beautiful explanation as to the FOCUS COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER • Friday, August 21, 2015 Page 5 presence of Lourdes Water.

Jeffrey has been using this unique medium in his fine art for over twenty years. To inaugurate these monthly classes, students were taught how to draw a rose, aptly keeping the theme of Bloom for the subject lesson.
