St Joseph meme

Post by Riverboat »

I'm getting more adept at creating memes, some frivolous, some serious. This is one I posted on my FB account. This prayer popped into my head a year ago, and in honor of our Savior's guardian father, I wanted to superimpose the words on just the right picture. I found it - a wonderful image of Jesus working in the shop with St. Joseph by Corbert Gauthier.

I decided against including my name and/or my web site because I want the focus on this magnificent saint. Besides, I didn't create the image. And I can hardly take credit for the words inasmuch as they were inspired through the Holy Spirit.

What do you think?

I use XNView. I could provide the steps if you really need them.

Just be careful using images, the good thing about CANVA is the stock images are not going to violate someone's copyright. Getting permission to use that Jacques Gauthier image might not be simple.

Copyrighted stuff, like stills from movies and TV shows, which are the basis of most memes, would almost certainly be covered by fair use.

One very funny meme I recently saw showed a man talking to Jesus after he died "Lord, did I waste my life by posting memes?'" and Jesus replies "Thousands of people saw your memes, you wasted the lives of thousands of people"
If you ever feel like Captain Picard yelling about how many lights there are, it is probably time to leave the thread.
