Shiviti: a meditation image named for the first word of Psalm 16:8 שויתי shiviti meaning “I have set”: I have set your name always before me. In this image the fire of the Burning Bush is linked with the Holy Name and the Divine Mercy. And we are reminded that we can become – by God’s grace – entirely fire.

    Is that a traditional depiction of the burning bush with the divine mercy or just an artistic one?

      Hi David! Christ is born!

      It’s multiple layers of me playing and whatever passes for Photoshop these days. I did use the Divine Mercy image which I played with. There’s also a clipart burning bush as well as a text layer. I played with the colors on both. Then I did something to sort of nail the whole thing together with some filters, I think. Probably too much information!
