The Griffin, A symbol of Christ

Lord of Heaven, as the Eagle

Lord of Earth, as the Lion

In One, as in Christ

July 8, 2007 Churches

Our brothers and sisters, to whom God has chosen to make known among the Gentile the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Amen. While traveling to see family, often I stop to photograph the churches along the way. This week I chose to use the photos and drawings from photos to show the many brothers and sisters we have that we don't often think about. However, we are all the keepers of the riches of the gospel that Christ has given us and with which he continues to teach us.

July 1, 2007 Saint Augustine

Great are Thou, O Lord and greatly to be praised; Great is Thy power, and of Thy wisdom there is no end. And man, being a part of the Thy creation, desires to praise Thee- Man, who bears about with him his mortality, The witness of his sin, even the witness that Thou "resistest the proud"- Yet man, this part of Thy creation, desires to praise Thee. Thou movest us to delight in praising Thee; For Thou hast formed us for Thyself, And our hearts are restless till they find rest in Thee. Saint Augustine This is an illuminated text inspired by the Bromeliad standing above it. I used cut paper and pasted it onto the original. In college we read Augustine's Confessions many times and I highlighted nearly every other line. The last line in this passage always resounds true in my ear.
