The Stanberry Headlight, Missouri, September 26, 1929

Prayer of St. Gertrude to release 1000 souls from Purgatory: “Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.”                        

I thought making them smaller would make the design more simple and require less time, making it more “affordable” but it does NOT make things more simple, in fact it makes it even harder 😂 🤦‍♀️ I’m doing single thread embroidery and the design is smaller than the head on a dime

Saint Eustace and Companions, Martyrs - 20 September And thus sorrowing he and his children came to a river, and for the great abundance of water he durst not pass that river with his both sons at once, which were then young. But at the last he left one of them on the brink of the river, and bare over that other on his shoulders, and when he had passed the river, he set down on the ground the child that he had borne over, and hasted him for to fetch that other that he had left on that other side of the river. And when he was in the midst of the water, there came a wolf and took the child that he had borne over, and fled withal to the woods. And he then, all despaired of him, went for to fetch that other, and as he went, there came a great lion and bare away that other child, so that he might not retain him, for he was in the middle of the river. And then he began to weep and draw his hair, and would have drowned himself in the water if the divine purveyance had not letted him. - Golden Legend of Saint Eustace
