🖊 Inktober Artist Tag – Day #6
Welcome to Day 6 of my Inktober challenge! Each day, I’m drawing a different prompt with a simple Catholic twist. Today’s theme is “Pierce”, and I chose to reflect on The Immaculate Heart of Mary.
Today’s Drawing Prompt: “Pierce”

For the "Pierce" prompt, I was immediately drawn to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Her heart, pierced with sorrow, is one of the most tender and profound symbols in Catholic devotion. I wanted to express both her pain and her unwavering love — a heart wounded not by sin, but by her deep compassion and unity with her Son’s suffering.
🧶 Reflection
Mary’s heart was pierced not once, but continually — from Simeon’s prophecy in the temple, to the foot of the Cross. She bore the suffering of a mother who loved perfectly, and whose love made her vulnerable to deep sorrow. Yet in that sorrow, there is no bitterness — only purity, strength, and a holy silence.

ReplyDeleteI've been following along probably about 1 and a half to two years now. And I'd like to see a picture of St. Louis de Montfort!
Wow! Thanks for your support! I’ll have to draw St Louis at some point.
DeleteAs soon as I read the prompt for yesterday I figured this is what you would draw! Lovely! ^_^
ReplyDeleteYes, I’d have to give credit to my brother for the “deer” idea. I was originally going to draw Saint Francis with a deer standing near.
