Take a tour and let your eyes fill your heart and soul.
Getting the full benefit from art is a little like a flower garden. A person may busily hurry on by the flowers. When ever that happens, the beauty, fragrance, colors and unique features and message of the flowers are missed. The flowers aren't harmed by the oversight, it is the passer by who lost the opportunity to savor this gift from God. Art is a gift from God too - the Lord gave artists their talent, to express His goodness and to share in the joy of creation!
In any of these photos, or in your next visit to a church - stop, look and listen. Ponder the Cross. Pray to hear what the Lord might be saying to you through a Station of the Cross, a picture or statue of His blessed Mother, an angel or saint. What do you see in their eyes? Do you see a look of humility? Are their feet bare or in sandals? Every statue or photo can have an amazing richness of messages. This is why, for centuries, the Church used sacred art to teach the people - especially before reading became common. Today, when the graphic arts have become powerful means of influencing people, isn't it fitting that we look to spiritual art to inspire us to lead lives pleasing to God?
