Three days to go. The church is all decorated, and the icon of The Blessed Mother is on the high altar. Greeting cards that I’ve received also have variations of Mary and the infant Jesus. Last year, I noticed that postage stamps also portrayed this touching scene. Even in my own little cell, the icon that was written by someone dear to me watches with a knowing gaze. So many different portrayals of our Blessed Mother. Such richness of color, uniqueness of style, intensity of prayer.
I am truly thankful for God’s gift to the artists of this world. I am thankful that those who have been called to a ministry of art have said their “Yes” and allowed God to work through them.
