http://youtu.be/uWt-qtnTte8 Angela is a blogger and graphic designer for a Catholic evangelization apostolate who took some time to chat with me about how God steered her from a drumming, tap-dancing, artistic childhood to working on graphic design for Toyota then to working as a graphic designer for a Catholic apostolate.
Angela writes at InspiredAngela where she focuses on art, love, Jesus, and new media. You can also find her on the tweets at: @inspiredangela

“This world is full of conflicts and full of things that cannot be reconciled, but there are moments when we can transcend the dualistic system and reconcile and embrace the whole mess, and that’s what I mean by ‘Hallelujah.’ That regardless of what the impossibility of the situation is, there is a moment when you open your mouth and you throw open your arms and you embrace the thing and you just say, ‘Hallelujah! Blessed is the name.’ Lenard Cohen

Angela's talk on the Sacred Heart: Lift Up Your Hearts
The Sacred Heart Jesus knew and loved us each and all during his life, his agony and his Passion, and gave himself up for each one of us: “The Son of God. . . loved me and gave himself for me.” He has loved us all with a human heart. For this reason, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, pierced by our sins and for our salvation, “is quite rightly considered the chief sign and symbol of that. . . love with which the divine Redeemer continually loves the eternal Father and all human beings” without exception. CCC 478
