Creativity can be a divine grace; with it we participate in the divine act of creation. The ultimate act is procreation, of course, but the art of writing fiction and poetry, painting and making music can also be a grace if it leads people to God. 

Creativity can be therapeutic, it can also be redemptive in that its inspiration can convert souls.

For this Sacred Heart Friday, think about ways any creative aspirations you might have can lead people to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Are you a creative Catholic? "The Catholicpunk Manifesto" is my new book exhorting Catholics to apply their faith to change the culture for the better!

Know someone, perhaps yourself, who might like Catholic devotionals for alcoholics? Please take a look at my books! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
