picture of the week

Apr 1, 2012

Some weeks ago it was reported that the Ria Bancroft Tabernacle doors from the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament had gone missing from storage.  They had been removed from the Cathedral when the salvage team moved in to take the Cathedral treasures to safe keeping.

These doors were one of the most powerful images in the Cathedral. The sculpture is especially significant for this Holy Week.  You might like to use it as a Holy Week ‘screen-saver’ as I am.

It was only tonight (some weeks after the fact) that I learned that these doors have been found and are now in even safer keeping. 


Thanks be to God!

I try not to repeat these daily Lenten posts year to year but there are times when the same scriptures pop up annually and I realise that I can’t write it better than I did last year. Today is one such day, not only because of the thought I share but even more in the comments that are added by FFF readers. Today I have left some of last year’s comments helping us to appreciate the power of today’s readings.

The heart of the home in years past was the hearth.
It was at the hearth that the family gathered for the warmth and light of the flame and the food that was prepared there.
The fire was treated with respect since the same flame which provided energy for the home could just as easily destroy it.

I’m not sure if children today are told the great story of the Emperor’s New Clothes, but if not let’s make sure that the parable is taught at all schools of higher learning.

A few years ago I discovered the wonderful way that God uses my imagination in my prayer.
Such openness to imagination when seeking God does not take us away from reality into fantasy but instead brings me into what is most real and inescapably personal and intimate.
