day nine
We give You thanks today, O God, for the art at the Casa that inspires us: the Guadalupe Shrine and the Stations of the Cross; the statues of Francis of Assisi and other followers of Christ; the paintings, drawings, photographs, and works in other media both inside and out that make the Casa a visual feast.
The music made at the Casa is the magical transport that takes our senses to the spiritual heart of God. Music here is where heaven turns and touches earth. Music molds us into wholeness uniting body and soul in a great Amen.
ReplyDeleteThe icons, the oils, the acrylics, the marbled and paste saints, the stained glass, wooden and concrete shrines and the sacred spaces stone and brick are all doorways to the divine presence. The images may catch us in a back hallway or they can captivate us in the circular solitude that hosts the Divine Presence. The art that lives at the Casa is the gateway which connects us to the spirituality that lives in all reality. I am grateful for all who create, tend to or build the elements of art that transform us.
