Faith, art, and beauty: reflections on the liturgical season.
Advent 1: Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation
8:00 AM
They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Beauty is the surest way back into a sense of wonder. Beauty renders your mind temporarily dumb, your thoughts overwhelmed by splendor. There are no words, no thoughts that can pull into your mind the beauty that’s before you. … a taste of beauty will carry you a long, long way.
…Silent, still, and awe-struck before beauty–now you’re speaking the language of God.
