MOVIE STARTERS VOL.12 APOSTLE GARETH EVANS
- ❛ I fear our Lord no longer hears my prayer. ❜
- ❛ The world thinks you’re dead. And then, till I found you, I thought the same. ❜
- ❛ These people…they’re blasphemers…a disease. ❜
- ❛ Only She decides whether to give or take. We do not intervene. ❜
- ❛ I have promised you a life of riches without the icy sting of suffering, greed, and injustice. And yet here you are…and there you suffer. ❜
- ❛ No one will ever stop me taking care of you. ❜
- ❛ I was of a mind I could put my faith in you. ❜
- ❛ Look her in the eye and lie to me again. ❜
- ❛ She will gift us another pure harvest. Have faith. ❜
- ❛ Do not judge yourself as sinners. Here you’ll be freed. ❜
- ❛ If the knife of that bastard cuts just one of us, we all bleed together. ❜
- ❛ If your blood has been shed in my name, I shed mine for you. ❜
- ❛ A few drops of this should see you through the night. ❜
- ❛ I’ll come by tomorrow to change your bandages. ❜
- ❛ Make good on the debt that you owe and forgiveness shall be yours. ❜
- ❛ The sands of time are sinking! ❜
- ❛ I’ll see to it that no one harms you. I promise. ❜
- ❛ Your eyes…they’ve seen things. Who are you? ❜
- ❛ Take the hunting rifle, get down there and flush him out. ❜
- ❛ I once held fast a belief in the divine. Like you, I knelt before a deity. ❜
- ❛ But then I survived. Only my body, and barely that. ❜
- ❛ Your God is pain, is suffering, is betrayal. ❜
- ❛ Beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. ❜
- ❛ Perhaps her strength is fading. Or something has angered her. ❜
- ❛ I’ll be at shore to greet you at sunrise. ❜
- ❛ Faith? We have a god in chains poisoning us from the inside out. ❜
- ❛ You put a god between your enemy and the people. ❜
- ❛ That thing…It will kill you. I won’t stand for it. ❜
- ❛ Ask yourselves who will see us through these dark days? Who will see to it that this land sustains us? Who will drive a spear through the hearts
of those that oppose our god? ❜ - ❛ False prophet, hiding behind a false god! ❜

The Apparition of the Virgin to Saint James the Greater
Private collection (via Setdart)
Saint James was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament, and is the patron saint of Spain. According to ancient local tradition, on 2 January AD 40, the Virgin Mary appeared to James on the bank of the Ebro River at Caesaraugusta, while he was preaching the Gospel in Hispania. She appeared upon a pillar, Nuestra Señora del Pilar, and that pillar is conserved and venerated within the present Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar, in Zaragoza, Spain.

Happy Feast Day
Saint Matthias
Died: 80
Feast Day: May 14 (New) February 25 (Trad.)
Patronage: alcoholism, carpenters, smallpox, tailors, Gary, Indiana
St. Matthias had been one of the disciples during the whole of our Lord’s public life and, like the others was a witness of His resurrection. It was he who took the place of Judas among the Twelve, following Judas’ betrayal of Jesus and suicide. The Church venerates St. Matthias on an equal footing with the other Apostles, whose voices resound throughout the world, from generation to generation, giving testimony to what they saw and heard in their life with our Lord.

I love Peter. My church is beginning a new sermon series on Peter after Easter, so I’ve been sort of doing my own “research” beforehand. This website: http://www.guidedbiblestudies.com/topics/simonpeter.htm has sort of a basic overview of Peter’s life/time with Jesus. It’s awesome.
The more I look at Peter, the more I see myself. Peter was passionate and loyal, but also frail and weak-hearted and rash when he should have trusted or had better faith. John was the “good child”… Peter was the leader. How many times have I been that in my life?
I love seeing how Peter’s change from fisherman to founder of the Church wasn’t instantaneous or even easy - it was JOURNEY, much like that of Pilgrim’s Progress. Peter makes sooo many wrong choices, some of which may even have been well-meaning. But he, like King David, always LEARNED from his mistakes. John was the devoted, loving follower. Peter went in and out, fearing and then trusting - but when he came out the end, it made him into a ROCK.
When Jesus named Peter “Petrus”, he was not referring to Peter’s PRESENT state - he was referring to what he would become.
How often do we not believe God’s words in our life because we look at ourselves and say “me? now? yeah right.”? But God doesn’t look at us NOW - he looks at what we can BECOME. Like Peter, he knows we’re humans.. we mess up… but he also knows that if we make it through, we will be strong as a rock when we come out on the other side.

WYALD!
I can’t believe my first Berserk fanart ever (which has been a long time coming) is Wyald, of all people. I wouldn’t say he’s my favourite apostle but he’s definitely one of the most memorable ones.Can’t wait to see this huge disgusting jerk in action on the upcoming Musou game
I don’t think I’ll be able to pull one drawing a day and I’m already a day behind, but I’ll try and do one every two days.
